The view from Felixstowe

What a year it has been. We cannot continue in local politics as if nothing has happened. This past year we have learnt so much about each other- our friendships, our families our workplaces -ourselves- and nothing will ever be the same again. Hopefully what we have learnt will guide us towards a better future. It cannot all have been for nothing.My vision for our beautiful Felixstowe Coastal is to nurture our wounded selves and at the same time move forward into a world where we have learnt that we cannot plunder the planet and our sense of community without dire consequences. So lets move on. Build a greener more compassionate neighbourhood and call the County Council and the Government to account when we feel action on the environment, housing, social care and mental health is not being taken - or not being actioned in any way which we can benefit from. It's time to stand up and come together for us and for the future generation.
