Being so local, Richard is regularly in the area, often seen walking his dogs.
Richard is a keen environmentalist who has run tree planting projects in South East Cornwall. He wants to work with the Town and Parish Councils to encourage schemes to see our environment improve.
Richard wants to see improved public transport, road issues resolved and better broadband for the area.
Richard Says: Dear Elector
We were all sad to hear of the loss of local Councillor Edwina Hannaford who had worked hard for the area over many years. My sympathies to her husband Simon, her family and her many friends. This has meant a vacancy has occurred on Cornwall Council and as a local person I am putting myself forward to do my best for the community.
Our part of Cornwall is a great place to live and needs people to be engaged in the future of the area to thrive. I have always believed in putting something back into the community. I have served on a Town Council and I believe this experience will serve me well on Cornwall Council. I have also been a Trustee at a local Community Centre. I now want to work on Cornwall Council to get things done for the whole of the Looe West, Pelynt, Lansallos & Lanteglos area.
Having run a local tourist based small business I know how important tourism is to our economy but also recognise how important it is that local people can afford to live here. I hope you will give me an opportunity to represent you at Cornwall Council by voting for me on Thursday 4th April.
Yours faithfully
Richard Dorling
