My running mate, Colin Spence.


The Days rattle by and it is time to start working on the paperwork for the election. I have managed to find ten people in Waldingfield Ward prepared to sign my nomination papers, which is a relief! Some purple prose is also required by the Conservative party for the election leaflet in which I feature with my running mate, Colin Spence. Colin, with whom I hope to be working at Babergh on your behalf after the election, is pictured right. Recently particularly active in the campaign to save the Walnuttree Hospital in Sudbury, Colin needs no introduction to many people, but those who don’t know him should read on!

Colin Spence has served the local Community as Babergh District Councillor for the Waldingfield Ward (Acton, Chilton, Great & Little Waldingfield) for the past 31 years. He is also your Suffolk County Councillor representing Sudbury East & Waldingfield Division since May 2005. He is also a County Council representative on the Suffolk Police Authority.

Colin endeavours to take a fair and positive attitude both when dealing with issues raised by individual constituents and when working with each of the four Parish Councils within the Ward. He always works hard to try and represent the views of those he represents and to resolve problems when they arise.

Colin’s long service in local government has earned him wide respect for his knowledge, hard work and commitment to all those he serves and he has made a very significant contribution to the management and political leadership of the District Council. He has held a number of senior positions over his many years of service and is currently the Conservative Group Leader on the District Council.

Colin’s roots are firmly established in Suffolk. He was born and educated in Sudbury and has continued to live in the area with his family all his life.
