Casework, Not Slogans!
Jon has completed over 1,000 pieces of casework to improve the City of Plymouth. Here are some of the campaigns behind that work.
St. Peter and The Waterfront deserves someone who actually delivers on their pledges for the residents and businesses of the ward.
Jon has lived in Stonehouse since 2009. After growing up fully able-bodied, his life changed following a serious motorcycle collision in 2005, which left him a wheelchair user.
That experience gives Jon a first-hand understanding of the barriers disabled people face every day. A missing dropped kerb, a blocked pavement or a single step at a shop entrance might seem like a small detail to some, but each can be the difference between being able to get somewhere independently and not being able to access it at all.
It also shapes the way Jon approaches local issues: turn up, see the problem for himself, photograph it, find out who is responsible, and keep chasing until something is done about it.
What Jon can help with
- Safer streets Pedestrian crossings, speeding, street lighting and safer school routes
- Fly-tipping and neglected areas Reporting problems, getting them cleared and tackling repeat issues
- Green spaces Trees, planting, wildflowers, parks and community spaces
- Supporting local businesses Improving accessibility, promoting local businesses and navigating council processes
