We are all careful with our own money. It’s important. It’s hard earned and easily spent. I intend to ensure that approach applies to all the money that the Mayor spends.
Take Thorne & Moorends. Labour controlled until the elections on May 1st. A town council with assets worth millions. Over £4million. And that’s with historic property valuations from decades ago. So millions and millions of pounds. For the last two years they raised the precept for local residents by an eye-watering 61% overall due to “the cost of living”. Loads of money. Your money.
They took down the play equipment in the Memorial Park in 2023. Just before the summer holidays when kids would use it. They’re only now starting to replace it. Massive delays. No explanation. The replacement should have been ordered in advance so that when the old equipment was removed, it would be immediately replaced. That’s common sense isn’t it?
Thorne-Moorends Town Council are now refitting the cafe in the same park. It’s a lot of money. It previously stood empty as it wasn’t financially viable to run as a business. If it was their personal money, surely they would find a tenant first and then do the work. Not so here. They just splash the cash. That’s not good enough. Public money should be spent wisely.

As Mayor I will bring my business expertise to the role. I won’t sign off vanity projects. I won’t allow money to be spent for the sake of it. I want a proper commercial attitude. This is a council with a turnover well in excess of half a billion pounds. It needs the right person with the right expertise. I believe in myself. I would ask you to believe in me too and give me the chance of turning Doncaster around.

Labour’s promise (lie) if elected to freeze YOUR COUNCIL TAX IN 2025: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/14ymMJhZFC/?mibextid=UalRPS
All council tax bills in Doncaster are going UP. None are frozen. Another broken promise from the Labour Party.
