06.05.08 - Putting Voters First

As part of Matthew's commitment to place voters at the centre of his policy platform he has been visiting businesses
across the ward to discuss their needs and what he can do to deliver the changes they require.

In the first of many such visits Matthew spent an hour with voters from the Institute of Chartered Accountants talking about his vision for the Ward and answering questions. This afternoon met with a representative from Cazenove to discuss his ideas for Coleman Street. Both meetings proved hugely valuable, providing voters with the opportunity to quiz Matthew whilst letting Matthew get to the bottom of the pressing and varied needs of Coleman Street.

If you would like Matthew to visit your business simply drop him an email at matthew@matthewrichardson.com.
