Fellow Sinners,
I feel now is the time for me to come out and start my own thread. I was considering commenting on the 'ron for acc officer' campaign thread, but think it is best that I started my own so that I can address any questions directly and personally.
I am serious about this campaign, and serious about representing the views of all members of the student body to the best of my ability.
I am not afraid to petition government, council, the university, or even individual agents/wardens on any issue that would be brought to my attention if I were elected Accommodation Officer. Neither would I be averse to organising large scale protests or including the national media if the situation so warrented it. I believe consultations with large groups and with individuals are always necessary, especially if they have a strong view on an issue, and I would endeavour to keep communication up through this here sinner, through the university website (let's hope it improves further), through posters and flyers, and through meetings or even a chat over tea/coffee.
Most of all, I want to be able to represent on not only the hugely important issues of Fife Park, Affordable Accommodation, Deposits, Renting, Uni Accommodation and its varying state of disrepair, national decisions and HMOs. I want to be able to deal with the small things too: a repair not being carried out after numerous requests, an individual problem with a landlord, an access door being kept shut due to bureaucracy or anything else that I may be able to help with. I will always be contactable, I will always listen, and I will always take cases seriously.
I regard every small case where I may one extra student happy, a case worth persuing and fighting for.
Any questions, get in touch - we have 3 days and counting.....
