Central - Garry Porter
Garry Porter retired from the RAF last year after 32 years, following a long flying career. As an air commodore, he commanded all RAF forces assigned to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2005-6; more recently, he ran an international think-tank, one of a number of ground appointments in high level planning - he is no stranger to difficult situations. Garry has maintained a residence in Central Ward since 2007 - a district similar to the urban area in Bristol where he was raised.
He is particularly keen to see more attention paid to improving Swindon Centre - the fact that Swindon is plummeting down the league of desirable shopping destinations (Swindon Advertiser Jan 2011) is a disgrace and indicative of a lack of imagination and drive by both the Conservative Council and the ward's Labour councillors! We need to continue the Liberal Democrat led action to sort out parking, especially for residents, and take a hard look at regeneration across the town centre to ensure we build a thriving and attractive community for all. Garry would also work for greater transparency in Council decision making - too much goes on behind closed doors and voters' views are too often taken for granted rather than sought!
