With local elections across the country in May, we speak with Dan Clarke, Libertarian Party candidate for Beechwood and Heath ward in Halton.
“I am running in the local elections because someone needs to get to grips to the council finances”
Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?
I’m Dan Clarke, I have lived in Runcorn for 25 years. I am the Librarian party Coordinator for the North. I am running in the local elections because someone needs to get to grips to the council finances, and put power back into people’s hands.
“Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors have failed to listed to constituents, I plan to listen and implement the will of the people I hope to represent”
What are the main concerns in your ward and if elected what wider issues do you hope to champion?
There are several issues on Beechwood and Heath ward. The two main issues are: – 540+ houses to be built on toxic land and within close proximity to a Ineos power plant and close to UKs largest waste incinerator. Not one constituent wants it to happen. Also a boat lake on Heath park has dried up, Halton Borough Council has failed to maintain it.
I hope to get the Boat lake up and running again and work with those necessary over the property development. Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors have failed to listed to constituents, I plan to listen and implement the will of the people I hope to represent.
How can people find out more or get involved in the campaign?
