Patrick Election: Gordon Clague

A candidate standing for re-election in Patrick believes the local authority is now 'running smoothly' after a series of resignations in 2023. Gordon Clague, the current chair of the commissioners, says he would like to see the rates kept low but has sorting out the pavements and hedge trimming at the top of his manifesto.Residents in Patrick will be able to vote at either Foxdale Primary School, Knockaloe Visitor Centre or St James Church from 8am until 8pm on Thursday 24 April. The other candidates standing are John Anderson, Henry Bridson, Paul Craker, Leo Cussons and Simon Mellor.Mr Clague also says residents in Foxdale won't be 'neglected' despite no candidate coming forward to represent the village. Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him.
