Highbridge and
Burnham-on-Sea Independents
OUR VALUES
Each Burnham and Highbridge Independent candidate has promised:
1. To represent and further the best interests of my ward as a whole, being accountable only to my residents, whether they voted for me or not placing this above all other considerations.
2. Not to be subject to any form of whip or discipline in respect of my voting decisions.
3. To actively support the election of a leader of the council and chairs and members of committees, by the full council without any whip and work to achieve this if elected.
4. To actively support the establishment of working parties and committees. This to provide truly impartial, transparent scrutiny and challenge both for policy and decision making; delegated and non-delegated.
5. Not to join or form any pacts or alliances with any political party or leader thereof that compromises my independence or causes me to break any of the aforementioned promises.
6. That if I fail to maintain my independence in this way, having been elected as an independent, I will immediately resign my seat.
