As the local Conservative Councillor for Bamford ward I have really appreciated the support and co-operation which has been given to me over the years. This has enabled many improvements to be made and problems solved. Of course I am well aware that there is much still to be done in Bamford, Marland and Sudden. And with your support in the election I look forward to continuing to work hard with you to improve our area.
Thinking about the budget, here in our high Council Tax area a 1% reduction in the tax rate matters. The Liberal Democrats and Labour wanted an increase of over 3.5%, the Conservatives proposed an increase of 2.5%, plus a rebate for the over 60's. Why don't the other parties vote for what is best for our ward?
I also want a dedicated street cleaner for our area, who knows the bad areas and deals with them.
And I don't want our Post Offices to be closed.
Bamford Way has still only been half-surfaced, the pavement on Arnside Drive has only been half completed. What is it that stops the Liberal Democrats from completing a job?
High time that their majority goes so that we can get co-operative local gGovernment and get spending back under control
