My name is Patrick Cousins, and it’s a privilege to be the candidate in Sheldon Ward in the upcoming elections in May for Chippenham Town Council and Wiltshire Council.

Having lived in the area my whole life, I feel a duty to return the favour to our community, and represent our ward on both Councils.

Furthermore, I feel it’s important to have a diverse Council, with a variety of different backgrounds vested in councillors. This is another factor for my candidacy, wanting to voice the needs of our Youth more broadly.

Outside of my candidacy, I attend Sheldon School Sixth Form and enjoy using the facilities at the Olympiad Leisure Centre.

I am making my way through the ward hearing your views and concerns on local issues, but please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me about any problems you may have!
