George Light

I have been a Fareham resident for 51 years and seen substantial change to an area that used to have a genuine community and village feel. This loss of identity and feeling of belonging is something that I want to see reversed.

I have enjoyed a wide and varied career that started with an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering. I progressed into sales and eventually to company directorship, founding my own business in IT infrastructure and air conditioning. I therefore understand how businesses are suffering and the risks their owners have to take.

I ultimately chose to return to employment after a serious illness and this experience gave me a new perspective on life and an appreciation of my surroundings.

Like many people I have been disillusioned with how our country, our county and our local area has been run and for many years I chose not to vote. However, I came to the conclusion that if things are to change and improve, normal people need to stand up and make change happen.

I am not a politician but regard that as an advantage. I want to listen to your concerns, use my experience to identify solutions and get things done. If you lend me your vote, I promise to represent you with honesty and commitment.
