I PERSONALLY am fully supporting Barry Goldbart in his endeavour to be elected as an independent councillor in the Westbourne and West Cliff Ward.

I believe Barry is a man of honesty and integrity who will do his utmost to represent the people of his Ward and participate in council matters across the borough. He has many years experience of local government having been a councillor in Brent and, for the last twelve years, in Bournemouth.

His experience and expertise have enabled him to contribute to the work of a number of committees, to cabinet, on the fire authority and as mayor.

He is a much respected councillor who has worked hard to protect the natural beauty of the West Cliff, to address any difficulties in the area, he has supported Neighbourhood Watch and projects to address lonely and isolated residents. Even during his mayoral year, Barry helped achieve the demolition of a derelict hotel which had become an eyesore and an public health risk.

Barry understands Bournemouth and the issues which are important to those who live and work in the town and who run businesses in the area. It is because he is interested in protecting and promoting the best interests of the residents that he has my wholehearted support.
