Statement from Nigel Williams
We invited them to tell you a little about who they are, any political history and about their political leanings.
I’m Nigel and I have had the privilege to have served as councillor for Gwenfro ward for the last 5years.
Born in Lodge then living in Southsea and New Broughton I have lived within this community my whole life as does most of my family which makes me a truly local candidate.
I have been married to my wife Caroline for 23 yrs who I met as both serving as special constables, we have a 14 year old son who attended Ysgol Penrhyn school and now attends a secondary school in Wrexham.
I have been a school governor at Ysgol Penrhyn for 8yrs and worked closely with the school arranging for them to get involved in planting trees and spring bulbs within the community and making Christmas decorations for the numerous Christmas trees I organise.
A member of Broughton community council for 10yrs and currently privileged to be chair I have been instrumental in introducing many local schemes such as Christmas lights and trees, interactive speed signs, defibrillators and improving the look of the villages with new planters, flower beds and hanging baskets with help and maintenance by a fantastic group of volunteers. I also organise regular litter picks and “tidy ups” throughout the year which has helped forge new friendships between local residents who now look forward to getting together.
I am extremely proud of our community and there have been many positive changes over the last few years.
If I am re elected I will continue with the improvements in our community and work with residents on the issues that affect them.
