Apparently my ward colleagues are concerned about my commitment to the ward now that I have been selected to stand for parliament in Mid Dorset and North Poole.
It's nice of them to be concerned that I have three jobs already. Only three? They're missing a couple - Treasurer of the Mayor's Charity Appeal and caring for my elderly parents. Oh, and then there's running Rubyz restaurants as well as our 'town centre night club' (not forgetting trying to keep Dame Kitty's dress allowance under control).
Well, as the person who kindly sent me this article said: "Remember the old adage, 'If you want something done, give it to a busy person'."
I hope I've done a good job for the ward in the eighteen months since I was elected, and I hope that the residents haven't noticed any change in the level of my commitment and service since November 25th, the day I was selected to stand for parliament.
I have certainly done the best I can and I think we've achieved results where I've been asked to help.
Either way, the residents of Littledown and Iford get to decide on May 3rd. We'll see then whether they think I've done a good job or whether they think that having four other roles has impeded the service they recieve from me.

Typical Liberal Democrats.How many Lib-Dems have turned their backs on the ward.K.Markwell(Boscombe West),Rachael Palma(Kinson)and one who cannot be totally honest,R.Copeland(Boscombe West)who according to my Brother has not been seen at any local Meeting for over a year,yet goes to council meetings to claim his allowance.Kep up the good work,Cllr King.Eric Croucher.
Can we read this comic online?,if so,can we have the web address.
You may be able to download the leaflet as a .pdf from the Bournemouth Liberal Democrats web site (http://bournemouth-libdems.org.uk/)
Strangely, they aren't very good at keeping their web site up to date and currently the last Focus for Littledown that's there dates from 24th June last year.
Nick, as we all know, negative campaigning rarely benefits the accuser. They're clearly concerned that your local profile is eclipsing their own and perhaps that's a good sign. Your work on Bournemouth Council has been thorough and well received by the people of Littledown & Iford; I trust their judgement a lot more than the Liberal Democrats seem to. Rise above this and I know we'll still be calling you Cllr King on May 4th.
They are very caring.Start too worry when they send you a valentine!Jessica
Lib Dems specialise in nasty doorstep technique. Ask Peter Tatchell. Doesn't look like the lib dems have changed their technique much!
If Nick King is so committed to his ward, why is he signing target letters to Mid Dorset and North Poole in his Bournemouth Council meetings.
I think that's called multi tasking, Adrian. And it wasn't a Council meeting, rather a budget seminar.
