Ken Gilderthorp (Stood for Tiverton - Castle Ward)

I am proud to have served as an elected Town Councillor for four years. My interests include my Church, Torch for the sight impaired, and Rainbow for the disabled. I campaign to keep bus services for all, I oppose shredding services such as Retirement homes and local Post Offices. I campaign for the rejection of the MDDC efforts to sell-off ‘council’ housing. I support the creation of green space recreational facilities. |
I strongly oppose higher taxes, for less and less services: I challenge the limiting of services provided by our hospitals.
I believe in the democratic governance of this country and that councillors should be taking the lead, not bowing to central government / EU ‘dictats’.
I enjoy working with my chosen charities - ‘Torch’ for the sight impaired, the ‘Rainbow Club’ for the learning disabled, also as a coordinator for the neighborhood watch.
Prevention is better than cure.

I
have lived in Tiverton for
about 14 years, and I
am
looking forward to finding new ways to make a difference in my area. This is why I am standing
for Lowman ward on
the District Council.

I don’t consider myself a politician, and I think that party politics is the cause for many of the troubles of this country - that and a little organisation called the EU. This is why I am part of UKIP. Each councillor has the freedom of an independent, but the backing of a national party. With your vote, you can have a voice, lets govern ourselves and take back our country.

Grahame Partridge was born in Exeter and has lived in Tiverton for 22 years. Married with 3 children, he is an ex Royal Navy officer, an Oxford MA, and is very experienced in finance and development as a Company Director (rtd.) running his own business. The reason he is sticking his head above the parapet is that he is very concerned at the state of MDDC finances; £750,000 in the red this year projected to £1,230,000 next, and still counting. He blames current district councillors (including Williams and Hull in Cranmore) for allowing this to happen, and is surprised they are standing again. |
They only negotiated £140,000 from Tesco when other towns, even Crediton, got millions. Hopeless!
It all means: no pensioners' free bus passes; sky-high council tax; selling off council property; services cut and staff redundancies; a truly sorry state of affairs.
Those responsible should be made
accountable.

In the past he has served 12 years on the Town Council, and has been on the governing bodies of three local schools. “We don’t have a hole in the head, so why do we pay billions of pounds a year to be victims of the EU? At present, about 80% of the laws being handled by parliament come through the EU ... So just who is controlling Britain? |
Unfortunately, our EU membership fee is not enough; the EU subjects this country to another rake-off - VAT.
Our heritage of Faith, from the time of the Reformation, is Protestant Christianity for which men were martyred. So is it good that we remain united to Catholic dominated Europe from which we gained religious freedom at the cost of the lives of our fore-fathers’?
But
thankfully there is another way -
Vote UKIP for national
independence and freedom from stifling laws, crippling expense, and
overwhelming immigration.”
