My friend and colleague John Abbott, who i have known since University, has been selected by local residents as my running mate in the 2010 elections.
Known to many of you as the editor of the highly regarded CONTACT! newsletter series John was very much "the Third Man" in the team. Banging out the news and often delivering it while Andrew and I spoke up for truth and decency in the Guildhall - you could count on John to tell us what he spotted/was told about in the Ward that needed fixing.
This is not some teenager still at university, John is someone who has experienced life and understands your concerns - who brings understanding and a breadth of knowledge to sorting matters out.
It takes two people to be a group, and the privileges/weight that carries in the Guildhall. If you vote us both in, you vote for a team on May 6th who will work for you all year round

Andrew Percy
Well, Andrew has gone! Moved to the South bank to fight Labour in a marginal seat.
I have served Bricknell ward for 23 years, Andrew has served for ten and was my longest serving partner in the Ward of the handful i have served with.
I shall miss his cheerful insoucience, never arriving on time, and endlessly on the phone when he walked in/out of a meeting. However I will also miss a hard-working ward member, and someone who served as a good Chairman of licensing, getting a grip on the function at a time of change. A useful debater in the chamber, Andrew at least hasd a personality and thought he was hear to make a difference. Until university Andrew lived in the Ward all his life, I know he feels the wrench of leaving but I for one wish him well and hope he gets to Westminster.
Bricknell Ward is better for Andrew's efforts and I hope he will like that as an epitaph on his public service in Hull
