Caitlin O'Mara
Middleton Independents Party
Hopwood Hall Ward
Hi folks, My name is Caitlin O’Mara and I’m proud to announce my intention to stand as the Hopwood Hall Ward candidate for the Middleton Independents Party in this year’s Local Elections on Thursday 2nd May 2024.
Born in Middleton, I spent most of my youth on the family farm in Hopwood.
I went to St. John Fishers then Cardinal Langley Schools and studied Health & Social Care at Hopwood Hall College.
I now work at Middleton Hall Care Home as a carer assistant.
When I’m not working I volunteer with Middleton in Bloom and Middleton Roundtable.
During the pandemic I was a GoodSam Responder, taking phone calls from those who were self-isolating or shielding.
Here's a link for more information on GoodSam www.goodsamapp.org
I also helped with Middleton in Action making up food parcels and taking donations.
I have taken part in the 'Save the Greenbelt' rallies and I’m against any development on Middleton or Heywood's Greenbelt - we should have a 'Brownfield First' policy.
I would like to see the regeneration of Middleton Town Centre along with a more varied selection of independent shops and businesses and I would like to see more facilities for those with a variety of learning needs.
I strongly oppose the new highway changes in Heywood, this has had a detrimental impact on Castleton so we need to learn from the mistakes made there. Has an elected councillor the residents should be listened to, they will be living with the mistakes made. I would also like to address the issue of parking, especially in Hollin.
I would like to bring a young person’s viewpoint into the future of Middleton and Heywood. The Hollin Community Park needs addressing now, this park is not fit for purpose and needs upgrading as a priority.
Middleton & Heywood has been ignored for long enough this needs to change.
NOW is the time to have OUR voices heard.
Voting for Middleton Independents is a vote for Middleton's voice.
We are Middleton,
We need change,
We need votes.
