Hello

My name is Tom Gibson and I am standing as PIP candidate for Thundersley North ward

I have lived in Castle Point my whole life and attended The King John School and Seevic College.  I went to The University of Huddersfield to study Politics and was President of the Huddersfield Student wing which allowed me to develop skills in various aspects of political operation.  I worked on grassroots campaigns to save the A&E at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, as well as various other community causes.  Wherever I have been and whatever I have done, being involved as part of a community has been at the heart of it all.  

Since being elected as a Councillor I have been involved in campaigns to benefit the whole community and spoke passionately against the Hart Road development at appeal due to my commitment to protect our green spaces.  I am the  Cabinet member for Assets & Special Projects and  have overseen the allocation of a £140,000 fund to improve our open spaces which included a new path at Thundersley Common and a new Games Area at John Burrows.  I continue to oversee the council’s asset review to ensure they are fully optimised. We are undertaking some really exciting projects and we need your vote on the 2nd May.
