Colin says: “Representing the area I grew up in is a great honour. I work hard to solve residents’ problems, using my experience and skills to help the council be more efficient, and keeping Council Tax as low as possible is why I got involved in the first place.
I have a passion for seeing Lakenheath, Sedge Fen, Undley, Eriswell and Elveden be vibrant communities for all young families and older residents alike. As our communities grow, local jobs, social housing, infrastructure, and facilities such as GPS capacity need to keep pace”.
