I am glad to have finally found out who the local Conservative candidate is in Wensum.
I wonder if you will be doing much campaigning in this ward?
To be honest, Wensum has become a safe Green seat for the time being.
It would be nice to know what issues Norwich Conservatives think are most important in the Wensum ward and in Norwich generally.
Antony what are your views on fixed term tenancies for Council Housing?
Do you think we should sell our Council Housing stock off?
How would you protect public services such as community wardens?
I personally think there is a shortage of social housing (and Council Housing) and the latest figures of the number of people waiting on the housing list doesn't give us much hope that we will be able to cater for everyone's housing needs anytime soon.
