Councillor Ron Flaherty has lived in Herne Bay since 1986 and has represented Heron Ward since 1991. Ron considers his and the Lib/Dem group's greatest achievement during his 15 years representing Heron Ward was the rejuvenation of the town and seafront which had been allowed to decay badly during the 1970's and 1980's. The Lib/Dem administration of the early 1990's began the task of upgrading the seafront gardens; built the Herons Leisure Centre and the cinema complex. Ron led the campaign, through the City Council, to have the bandstand fully refurbished and restored to its former glory.
More recently Ron has been successfully campaigning for the restoration of run-down properties on the seafront and in the Conservation area. These properties have mainly been owned by absentee landlords who had simply not spent the rental income on maintenance. They are now required to do so.
Ron's priority is to make Herne Bay a pleasant and safe place to live in and visit.
He is fully committed to the Campaign to rebuild the Pier. Ron believes the whole Council must now commit itself to this project and have Council Officers draw up urgent financial plans to achieve this from both the Public and Private Sector.
