Paul Andrews says:
"In July 2004, I joined with David Clarkson, a retired former senior police officer, to form the Ryedale Residents Group ( Click here for more information on the Ryedale Residents' Group), because we were not satisfied with the way the three larger political groups were failing to address the issues which affect our local community.
David did not stand for reelection in 2007, and Nigel Wilson stood for his seat in Derwent Ward. I was elected, but unfortunately Nigel was not. We both stood as independents, making it clear in the press and in leaflets that, if elected, we would form again the Ryedale Residents Group. In the circumstances, I offered to join the Council's Independent Group on the basis that I would be able to continue to campaign for those things that I had campaigned for in the election. The Independent
Group refused to accept me, and I am therefore on my own, as a "Ryedale Resident".
I shall continue to use my influence for the common good. I am only interested in local issues. "
