what made you want to stand? what are your
Working for Spalding St John’s intouch Dear Resident, It has been my pleasure over the past few months to have met so many of the residents I seek to represent across Spalding. In late 2014, I began sharing my ideas and collecting valuable insights from those that kindly gave their time. I have written a summary of just some of the topics discussed on residents doorsteps in the hope that the same insights can be shared with you from the comfort of your home. I hope these short Q&A’s can help you make up your mind in the run up to the election in May. WHAT WOULD YOUTH OFFER TO YOUR ROLE? I have always had a drive to make our community a better place to live, and I believe that youth acts as the enabler of that. I regularly work with other community supporters from 11 to 30 in my local Conservative Future group and know how much can be done without unnecessary bureaucracy. I like to think that my youth provides a better meaning to ‘the best of my abilities’. I do believe hands on action is the only way to truly understand the scale of the issues facing residents locally and the key to being the best possible representative is to truly understand those you represent. After 10 Years in Spalding St Johns, I am confident my own youth warrants me as the right candidate for the ward. HOW CAN YOU HELP THE LOCAL ECONOMY? As an advocate of decentralisation, I believe that as the national economy improves we can expect to see more finance and even more control to lower levels of government. Continuing from the track record of the Conservative Party in South Holland, I will fight tooth and nail for the maintenance of local stability. Commitments such as the freeze on local council tax over the last four years, or the weekly waste and recycling have been at the heart of my appreciation for local politics.

We all identify with our local community and recognise the pressures on the landscape and environment. We each care passionately about the beauty or ugliness of our surroundings, the cleanliness or dirtiness of the street we live on, the performance of our local school, or crime levels in our neighbourhood. My goal is to take a careful and committed approach to dealing with every single one of these concerns. As a younger candidate, I do have a rare opportunity if I do succeed. To enable a larger portion of our community to come forward with issues, and help engage more people in the development of our town. PRIDE IN ST JOHNS As some will have seen, during my time either delivering letters or meeting residents, I carry a ‘litter picker’ with me to help tackle street litter in a small way. I just wanted to remind you of the South Holland District Councils ’Do it Online’ forms for reporting all sorts of local issues, from fly tipping to Noise Pollution. WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO STAND? 1 I trained as an apprentice and owe a lot of what I have to the schemes rejuvenation. As a national employment system, I had not predicted that our own MP, John Hayes was the driving force behind this radical reconstruction. Among other things, I plan to follow suit, and ensure the right path is available to everybody. Above: Cllr Gary Taylor taking action with Conservative Future.

It is easy to miss or forget the ward you are on, and it is not always as obvious as it might seem. That is why I have mapped the borders in this image. My hope is that if we all know our ward, and the challenges it faces, then we are able to make the best decision on who is the most capable. I grew up on Thompson Close, directly in the heart of the ward. When the opportunity arose to stand as a candidate, I did not hesitate. The turn out for this years election should be high, so I hope you will consider keeping this map as a reference for your friends or family in the run up to the election. All the best, Jack McLean Conservative Candidate Spalding St Johns CARING AND CAMPAIGNING FOR OUR COMMUNITY
