  • I’ve been keeping busy as your BCP councillor for Hamworthy – dealing with day-to-day issues like overgrown footpaths and parking, along with larger issues, while supporting residents through my regular surgeries.I am running to represent Hamworthy East, where I’ve lived for over 27 years, for the new Poole Town Council. Although I was against the creation and timing of the new councils, I will represent you and lay good foundations for the future, making sure your voices are heard and that positive developments emerge.

• Paul Whitlock – Poole People

  • My name is Paul Whitlock I believe that as a local resident and an independant candidate, I can better represent the people of Hamworthy East. By not having to follow the direction of the westminster based parties who have little interest in local matters. Whilst I support the creation of cycle lanes and lower speed limits these should be in appropriate places, and not reduce the free flow of traffic. I also want to ensure the current BCP council will not just offload services they currently provide just to balance the books. Vote for me and vote for independant Poole Town Council.

I believe in local issues being dealt with by local people, and if elected, I will represent your interests to the fullest of my ability.

  • I’m standing as an independent local candidate because Poole is my home and I care deeply about its future. I grew up here, now live in Oakdale with my family, and work locally as a secondary school teacher. I am also the founder of PooleNow. I want Poole to be a place people feel proud of, where communities are safe, welcoming, and full of opportunity. I believe the Town Council should have a minimal financial impact on residents, while using its resources efficiently and responsibly to make visible improvements, build trust, and show local government can work for people.

  • live in Baiter and see both the pride residents have in the Old Town’s character and the everyday issues that affect the surrounding neighbourhoods.Those small, visible concerns shape how people feel about their community. With the town council being established this year, the culture and standards set at the beginning will matter for years to come. I want to help ensure it starts responsibly, where the focus lies on practical delivery, clear communication, and collaboration.What I can bring is commitment, preparation, a strong sense of responsibility and a love for Poole.

  • I’m originally from Berkshire, and moved to Poole for work after leaving university.I have since grown to love this town, and would like to give back by standing for Town Council to represent the community I have come to call home.If elected, I will ensure that your views are heard. I am well aware that BCP Council currently doesn’t always take residents’ views into account, and I will ensure that the Town Council does listen.As a councillor, I will also work to keep Poole’s unique identity alive, instead of allowing Poole to become a suburb of Bournemouth.

  • I’m standing to represent the area I live and grew up in.​I have a huge amount of pride in our town, which has driven me to get involved in local campaigning, outside my day job in simulation software.I campaigned against the sale of Poole Civic Centre, organising protests outside BCP Council and calling out the council administration in the Echo for being dishonest about the costs of keeping it.Many parts of the town have been visibly neglected in recent years. If elected, I’d want to ensure that all of our public spaces get the attention they deserve.
