Crime,
Education, Re-Generation & Civic Pride.
Why you should elect Andrew Burden for Mayor.
Andrew Burden is a local family man with two young children who
runs his own business and wants to devote his time to making things
better for the people of Doncaster Borough.
My
Priorities are YOUR Priorities....
"Cutting petty crime and violence not only in the Town Centre,
but in the surrounding Villages and Towns by working closely with
the local Police to put more Police Officers where they can be seen
and by increasing the use of CCTV coverage."
"I will run an open administration free from corruption. A
cross party cabinet will help to ensure that none of the excesses
that have dogged the previous council will happen again."
"I will bring a new pride to Doncaster, top class facilities
for Sport, Culture and Transport will be actively promoted, though
not at the expense of Education or Social Services. I will seek
funding for these facilities from the private sector. I will make
the tidying of litter and Graffiti throughout the Borough a priority."
"I will actively promote Business in Doncaster to help create
jobs and opportunities. By consulting with local Schools and Colleges,
I will make sure that they provide courses with the correct skills
mix to ensure our citizens have the right qualifications for future
jobs. I am keen to see that Doncaster College achieves University
Status at the earliest opportunity."
"The future of Doncaster is important to me. A safe, clean,
vibrant Doncaster benefits everyone. I am not one of the political
class in Doncaster. I want to be Mayor because I can make a difference."
"If you normally vote Labour, but are ashamed of the councils
antics, Ashamed of how squalid they have made Doncaster appear to
the rest of the Country, at least give me your second vote as a
protest."
"It doesnt matter which party you normally support or
even if you dont normally vote. On May 2nd YOU have a chance
to elect someone who will work for all of Doncaster."
I am 44 years old, I was born in Lincoln the 2nd son of an Royal
Air Force Officer. I moved around a lot in my early years, both
abroad and in this country.
I finally came to Doncaster! I attended Doncaster Grammar School,
as was, before entering the world of work.
I have worked all over the country, though have always kept a base
in Doncaster, mainly in the commercial finance industry.
For the last ten years I have run 2 of my own businesses, one supplies
computers, networks and services to industry and education. The
other specialises in raising funds for business and local authorities.
Our client list ranges from the small engineering firm to premiership
football clubs to Borough Councils.
I am married to Jennifer and we have two young children. 4 &
8 years old.
My hobbies are keeping fit, I run half-marathons and marathons.
Rugby Union only watching now sadly. I am also a qualified pilot
and fly as often as I can
The reasons
people should vote for me are: "I will bring balance to what
is likely to be a Labour dominated council. I will bring focus and
commercial expertise to the critical decisions that face the authority
in the coming years. I will listen to the people and aim to bring
them honest open
local government"
