The LGE on 1 November 2021 is NOT about National Issues, NOT about stopping this party or that party from getting power BUT about choosing the person most suitable to do the grunt work in Ward 7.
The elections on 1 November 2021 are all about hyper local issues and making sure that residents live in a happy, healthy environment conducive to the promotion of economic well being. A productive society is a society that contributes to a better life for all.
The political parties will have you believe that the LGE is all about macro issues and I am afraid that they have lost the plot.
I am all about bang for your buck, under promise and over deliver and have the record of Community Building to prove that (See: Alan Straton – A Ward 7 LOCAL Through And Through). Of course running my own business has also equipped me with the skills to at least be able to read a balance sheet.
After being inextricably linked to Ward 7 for MOST of my life I think that I have that innate local understanding of what is required to make Ward 7 a happy, healthy and productive space.

Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
