Letter to Wingham Residents
Written by Bryan Curtis on Fri 18th Apr 2008
My reason for becoming a Parish Councillor was to help keep our area a great place to live. But I also knew that some things could be improved. In particular, facilities and transport for young people left a lot to be desired. As a District Councillor I was also able to try and help residents of Preston and Stourmouth. I campaigned hard for an extension of mains drainage to Stourmouth and speed restrictions in Wingham and Preston.
