- Standing up for our area. We’ll push the council to spend your money properly, making sure they know what our area needs.
- Restoring civic pride in our high streets and public spaces. We should feel proud of where we live, but underinvestment in basic upkeep and a lack of vision for how our area should develop has dented local pride. We’ll stand up for the basics, argue for investment, and bring a positive vision for our area.
- Creating safe, inclusive play spaces for children. Children are our future but we’re letting them down, with playgrounds falling apart and closing down. Working with Tom Hayes MP, we’ll make sure our community gets the inclusive play equipment all children need.
- Young people want to get out and about and away from their screens – it’s our duty to build public spaces they feel safe to be independent and socialise in, so we’ll advocate for our parks and open spaces, for youth clubs, and to improve pavements and roads.
- Tackling antisocial behaviour, dangerous e-scooters, illegal graffiti, and fly tipping. Sadly, many of us often don’t feel safe locally. We’ll ensure the police and council know where the problems are and push for action. And we’ll work with volunteers and community groups to create quicker, local solutions to graffiti and fly tipping, where possible.
- Championing our libraries as vital community centres. Our local libraries aren’t just a place to read – they provide vital services to parents, the elderly, and others. The council has cut them back again and again, but we’ll stand up for them.
