St. George's West takes in Ferry Reach and Mullet Bay as well as some of the town of St. George's.

The issues that both candidates have found to be of most importance in the area are: affordable housing, crime and education. Some concerns that have been raised by constituents that do not directly affect the area are keeping the town of St. George's as a World Heritage Site and what to be done about the abandoned Club Med.

Both candidates had said they aimed to fix double taxation for those people who lived on the outskirts of the St. George's city limits.

"Double taxation has been a vexing issue and there are people who live within the limit but don't see any benefits from the tax," said United Bermuda Party candidate Kim Swan.

This will be the third time Mr. Swan has run for the UBP and part of the old constituency, which he ran for in the last election, is taken up in St. George's West.

"I've had the benefit of working in this area for a number of years now and I've continued to work on the issues in this area and since I've never won it will be a difficult battle," Mr. Swan said. "I come with vast experience from the grass-roots level of politics to the legislative level, so I feel I'm poised to provide good representation to this constituency."

He said that the biggest issues he'd heard are affordable rents and being able to by a first time home. Also, crime is an issue, which he said translated into the need for more of a Police presence in the area.

"There are staffing issues at the St. George's Police station and it's an issue for the town as well as the neighbouring areas that depend on a Police force," Mr. Swan said.

Traffic is also causing some headaches for residents and Mr. Swan said people were worried for their children and grandchildren.

"People need to be more thoughtful when they are driving through neighbourhoods and it's not just providing proper signs but being more thoughtful because people are worried about their children and grandchildren," Mr. Swan said.

Education was also a concern that Mr. Swan had heard from some of the constituents.

Dean Foggo is the Progressive Labour Party candidate for constituency two and he said that since he is coming out of working in education that would be his key issue.

"When people tell me we need a decent school system, I take it personally. That means I'm not doing my job," Mr. Foggo said.

"As a teacher I have to work on the education issue because if we don't educate our people they will have less opportunities," he said. "I'd also like to focus on the young people who are causing trouble because some of them, I've found out, have been former students."

Another area that Mr. Foggo is interested in is tourism and with many creative ideas he has expressed some of the changes to the industry that he believed would benefit the Island.

"We need to put more money into the product. We put so much into our advertising and we really need to bring up the cultural side of the Island," Mr. Foggo said.

Alongside these larger issues, Mr. Foggo said he has heard many people also complaining about speeding on neighbourhood roads, drugs along with crime and the price of housing.

In the end, if the PLP do make it another time around, Mr. Foggo hopes to bring his hard work to the table.

"I want to bring my voice into politics because it will be heard that way, I'll bring a caring open person to this and I'm looking forward to the new challenge," Mr. Foggo said.

Other voices that wish to be heard are the constituents in the area. Francine Trott of Mullet Bay Road said that overall she did not have many complaints about the area but she wanted to hear from the candidate who gets chosen.

"I want to hear what my candidates are doing for me if they do win the election. I want to make sure when they do get in that I see my candidates have more voice so I know if they are listening to my concerns," Ms Trott said.

Her biggest concern, Island wide, is education and she said: "I think Mr. Foggo has a strong showing when it comes to education, he started from the grass-roots, so I think he has the upper-hand," she said.
