Laurence Goff The Independent Voice For Newark Candidate has been elected for the Bridge ward on Thursday 17th September 2009. Many thanks for you support.

A truly independent person like me can think and fight for the local people in the Bridge ward on Newark Town  Council. Being a truly independent candidate without any political agenda, I strongly believe that is the right thing to do. Make a positive contribution to the good people of Newark and for Bridge ward.


Getting involved in politics will be good for our community if we can find more people to come forward as candidates in the next set of elections to be held on the 5th May 2011. Politics is about trying to make a difference to the way things work. There are many ways to get involved in politics, whether you are interested in campaigning on single issues, affiliating yourself with a particular political party or involving yourself in the local community.

A natural route into local politics for many like me was to join a political party after 40 years I have left the old party joining at 19. We all need a change for the better  which is healthy and good,  I am still on the left side  of the fence truly Independent for future elections. You align yourself with people of similar values and can get more opportunities to debate, campaign, influence the political agenda and mix with people in the political world.  The last decade or so has witnessed the emergence of a whole host of single issue groups on everything from the environment to the rights of car owners. The best way of finding people that shares your views is to look on the internet. Many groups regularly run campaigns and often contact you..

You may simply wish to make a practical difference at a local issues, getting involved with one of the several residents’ associations in the constituency which address community issues and campaign for local people in and around Newark

Not everybody wants to join organisations or attend meetings, but there are still options open to those who wish to get involved. You can attend local political lectures and seminars. You may wish to start your own blog,  www.wordpress.com posting articles on political websites or sign online petitions. And, of course.The internet is also providing a new arena for political debate, and you  can always write directly to your local paper with your thoughts! If you are passionate about politics come and join me, you are most welcome.
