Joan Aspinall
Middleton Independents Party
West Middleton Ward
My name is Joan Aspinall and I am proud to announce my intention to stand for election as a local Councillor in Middleton West Ward in this year's Local Elections on Thursday 5th of May, 2022.
I have lived on Langley for over 63 years and have volunteered at the Citizens Advice Bureau as well as supporting adults taking part in the “Talk English” programme.
I am a qualified Social Worker and Youth Worker and have worked across Middleton and Rochdale in these roles.
For some time I was the manager of a local Community Centre helping many people with their issues and their problems.
I have recently worked as a Home Carer for the elderly in Langley, in Middleton and in Rochdale.
Over the years I have organised many events; supported many people into training and employment and am especially proud of my work with excluded young peopled and their families, supporting the children back into education.
I have applied for funding for several projects in the Town and have been successful in gaining Township funding for these.
I have excellent networking and communication skills which I have used for many years as a community activist on Langley.
I have campaigned with many others against building on Langley Lane and Hollin, which was successful until the latest bid from Taylor Wimpey.
I campaigned to save Bonscale Park from development, gaining over 100 signatures on a petition plus many individual letters of objection. However, none of our Councillors supported us and the decision was made to allow building on this local open green space.
If you put your trust in me and elect me as a Councillor for the Middleton Independents Party I would listen to and communicate with all in our community, having an impartial resident’s perspective on matters affecting Langley and Middleton.
Think Middleton For A Change. Use your three votes for Middleton Independents candidates in your Ward.
