Chestfield: Pat Todd

A retired police officer, married with two adult children and five grandchildren, I have lived and worked in our district for 45 years.

I have held several significant roles within the council in the 16 years I have served. I am keen to preserve the best and work to improve the rest for Chestfield and I oppose indiscriminate and ill thought-out building, particularly on rural land.

I shall continue to strive to do my best for Canterbury District and our ward.
