Stuart Wild
Stuart lives in Diglis. He read Physics at Durham University and Operational Research at Hull. He’s the owner of a local IT company, ex-director of a public company and a retired Royal Navy officer – a wealth of real-life experience.
He cares about local issues. Understands that issues like potholes and litter are important but believes that other critical issues that aren’t the city council’s remit need tackling too. Too many of us are struggling financially or have problems with the education of children, particularly SEN. The city helps when it can but must do more. Saying “’it’s not our responsibility’ is not enough”, says Stuart.
Stuart is passionate about the availability of primary care. It’s impossible to get a timely appointment with a GP – “We need more GPs and walk-in facilities.”
Our city is beautiful, but we don’t make the most of its potential. Facilities along the river are lacking and land that could be gardens with recreational facilities is used for car parking. And Stuart states, “Whilst we’re talking about rivers, Severn Trent must be controlled. It can’t be allowed to pay bonuses whilst shovelling sewage into our rivers. And OFWAT needs to be restructured and given teeth.”
