Westman races Anderson forWard 3 council seat

LUCAN BIDDULPH — The municipal election is heat-
ing up with two candidates competing for the Ward 3
council seat, something we haven't seen yet this year
in the Lucan Biddulph race.
Granton resident Alex Westman is challenging Ward
3 Coun. Doug Anderson, who has sat for nine years on
Lucan Biddulph council for the
Granton and area seat.
Anderson, previously a Granton
village trustee and a London post
office retiree after 35 years, has
worked the past three terms taking
resident's questions and concerns
to council keeping the community
informed of any changes and
ensuring any issues arising from
the town are kept on top of.
Anderson, who says Granton is
what he "is most interested in,"
says he's proud and pleased with
his accomplishments to date.
Anderson says helping Granton residents get "snow
removed off the sidewalks in Granton" has been a
highlight since it can lead to safety concerns.
Another highlight for him has been partnering with
the Granton Lions Club, both repairing and making
changes to the park.
Anderson says if he is re-elected a main focus will be
continuing to improve the water and sewer systems.
He also says he's looking forward to watching eco-
nomic development in Lucan, hoping this will too ben-
efit Granton and area.

Anderson is married with four children.
When asked how he feels running against
Westman, Anderson says all he can say is, "I
hope he comes in second best."
Westman, who was also previously a village
trustee as well as sitting on the Granton
Hydro Commission, works at Schneider Foods
in St. Marys.
Aiming to stay as involved as possible both at
work, with his community and his personal
life, Westman keeps busy volunteering wher-
ever possible both at work and in his commu-
nity.
Whether it's sitting on the Biddulph
Blanshard Fire Department for almost 25
years, helping out at the Granton Masons
Lodge or

years or volun-
teering at the

years, Westman
says he was just
raised to be
involved.

him "you're a guy that can get things done."
He says there are many issues surrounding
Granton and area and he will "bring a new
energy level and enthusiasm" to council.
"We haven't had a strong vehicle. We need
a stronger voice," says Westman.
Westman has continued to keep Granton a
clean community, bringing forth several
issues including young teenagers in the
Granton Park breaking curfew and says he
has seen improvements since continuing to
keep his eye on certain areas.
"We're very blessed to live in a community
like we do.
"We've got something special here."
Westman is married with one daughter.
