Ollie Pearson: Your candidate for 3 May 2012

I am delighted to be standing as the Labour Party candidate in Exwick.  We already have a fantastic Labour team here, including Adrian Hannaford who is standing down this May and will be greatly missed. Adrian has been a hard-working ward councillor, actively working on local issues for residents across Exwick.

I’d like to carry on the great work he and the rest of Labour team have started. These achievements include better bottle bank coverage, repairs to street lights, improvements to local play areas, road and pavement repairs, dealing with many housing issues, getting street signs replaced, tackling anti-social behaviour and crime, traffic and speeding concerns, and much more.

I’ve lived and worked in Exeter for the past eight years and this experience has made me passionately committed to the growth and development of the city and Exwick in particular. I am concerned that job opportunities and the services that we all rely on are under threat at this time due to austerity and cuts and as your Labour Councillor I will to do everything I can to protect the people of Exwick and Exeter. I know from personal experience that Exeter is one of the most expensive places to buy or rent a house, so promoting affordable housing in the city is a big challenge that we need to rise to.

I’m also really optimistic for the future of Exwick and Exeter as a whole, and I know that there’s a lot I can do by working hard for you to improve both our local area and our services for the future. Exwick is a very special and historic part of Exeter, and with a real sense of community pride and strong neighbourhoods. This is all strengthened by the various schools, neighbourhood watch groups, churches, charities, sports teams, and local associations.

I look forward to meeting you in Exwick soon. I want to hear your concerns and aspirations, so please get in touch.
