Broadstairs and St Peter’s Town Council is pleased to welcome new councillor Paul Jacobs GM to support and represent the residents of St Peter’s Ward. Cllr Jacobs was successfully appointed to the Town Council on Monday evening following a co-option procedure to fill the vacancy arising from the departure of James Hobson earlier in the year.
Having lost his sight during active service in Afghanistan, Cllr Jacobs’s priorities are supporting veterans and armed forces families, young people, and local residents living with disabilities and mental health challenges.
In an address to Councillors, Cllr Jacobs explained: “My aim is simple: to serve our parish with integrity, to listen to every voice and to help create a community where no-one is left behind.”
Paul grew up in Thanet and is currently studying Society, Politics and Law with the Open University.
