John Rosie (independent)





John Rosie.
John Rosie.

I AM proud to be a native-born Thursonian and have lived and worked in the area all my life. I have represented the people of Thurso for many years.

I do believe that the Highland Council is far too large and lacking in democratic accountability which is hugely detrimental to Caithness. I pledge to work with other like-minded councillors who believe that many decisions should be decided by councillors elected from that area, rather than from hundreds of miles away.

If elected I pledge to:

  • Support adequate budgets for care of the elderly and for pre-school and full-time education for our children.
  • Support more police on the streets.
  • Work with other agencies and the Scottish Government to attract modern industries to Caithness and seek urgent improvements to our transport infrastructure.
  • Continue to encourage Asda to set up in Thurso.
  • Maintain our cemetery, parks, gardens and streets in a clean and attractive manner and ensure that the disgraceful mart site is tidied and cleaned as soon as possible.
  • We must continue to seek a proper resolution to the dilapidated house in Princes Street
  • Sir John’s Square. We must find the most suitable use for Dunbar Hospital.
  • I believe that with my energy and experience of local government I can make a substantial contribution to the future of our town.
