Candidate for councillor in the Fraser Coast Council, Russel Felton, makes his pitch. Cross-posted from Strewth!

“My name is russell felton i am running in the upcoming election i just wanted to tell some of your readers a little about my self.

i ran my own business in hervey bay for many years .i am 45 married have three daughters , when devolopers are building new housing estates i will push for them to build playgrounds not just leave parkland we have a lot of young families moving to the region,in hervey bay we need to build the water park a.s.a.p and maryborough maybe run concerts and entertainment in the brolga theatre and other events for our teenage children.

the average age of population in the fraser coast region is becoming younger so we need to look after all age groups,we need devolopment but not at the expense of the enviroment.

the reason i ran for council is i have seen in the past what councils have done and reading some of the running candidates comments. i have a lot of experience in management,budgeting and marketing and will not just rubber stamp approvals i will stand and fight for what i believe in.

i am not going to make any grant promises that i cannot keep and not knowing what work projects are in place by the previous councils some of which can be years in advance,i just hope people don’t vote by the devil we know line of thinking, so thanks for listening”
