A former Norfolk County councillor is hoping to reclaim one of the seats in Simcoe.
Doug Brunton sat on council from 2014-2018 and has once again put his name in the race to run for Ward 5.
The Simcoe native let us know why he is running in the upcoming municipal election.
Another worry he has is the cost of oil at the moment, and the cost it will take to maintain the buildings.
His biggest concern for the budget is infrastructure.
Among those infrastructure concerns is the administration building.
As a former councillor, he sees some changes that could be made to the way the group is operating.
Brunton is involved in the community with the Norfolk County Agricultural Society, and coaching minor sports.
