Julie Boyd, Hastings Point, Group B Tweed council candidate

This election is crucial for residents of the Tweed. It will set the scene for the future.

It’s time for Mr Polglase and his acolytes to accept they are well past their use-by date, and the antics of the past, and for the Tweed to move onto the intelligent leadership of Chris Cherry who will lead the Tweed into a future of prosperity and integrity.

Chris has a long history of representing the needs of Tweed residents, balanced with her understanding of how business can support the local environment.

I have had the honour of working with Chris for the past two decades and people of the Tweed will not regret voting her into office.
