Dear neighbour,
Thank you for all your support on the doorstep and well wishes ahead of the local elections. It really is wonderful to hear just how many of you are going to be voting Green at the upcoming election – 4th May.
David, Lesley and I have been working hard over the last few years and have spoken to so many of you on the doorstep. Together we have been delivering year round updates, countless surveys and taking action on the issues that you say matter to you.
We care about taking action on your priorities when we speak to you on the doorstep. When you told us that school parking was a problem for you, we...
Pushed for greater road safety and yellow lines
Encouraged children to walk to school and are finding ways to make this safer
Deterred parking on verges with the planting of wildflowers.
When you told us that anti-social behaviour was impacting community life, we...
Actively engaged with the schools in Wingerworth and Tupton
Made sure that CCTV was rapidly installed
Implemented the changes young people told us they needed
When you raised concerns about the vast amount of inappropriate development and endless attacks on our green spaces, we fought back alongside you and acted swiftly to introduce protections. My first move was to start the legal process of protecting our parks.
When you raise an issue, we take action.
We are committed to finding solutions and have the skills needed to get things done. Lesley has a wealth of experience and as a School Governor of 16 years with a career in Youth Services specifically with teenagers who need specialised intervention, she knows how to make progress. Lesley and David, like myself, have years of experience in speaking up and standing up for local people, and have committed their time to ensuring that everyone gets a fair chance. In Lesley’s work in Children’s and Family services, she has gained first hand xperience of supporting families and empowering them to navigate the complex services of local authorities. Meanwhile, David has successfully led high profile campaigns which have not only stopped the destruction of green spaces in our part of the world but have empowered residents to decide what is right for their community.
In short, we know how local government works and how to get things done for you!
At this election the choice is between the Greens and the Conservatives. Labour and the Lib Dems always perform poorly here and a vote for them will not decide who wins this election.
You have a choice - more of the same from the Conservatives, who only turn up at election time, or hard work all year round from David, Lesley and myself...
David, Lesley and I can win at this election and are committed to working hard for Wingerworth. We will hold the other parties to account and make sure that our community is finally listened to.
Yours faithfully,
Frank, David and Lesley
P.s. Remember to cast your ballot on 4th May and vote for year round hard work!
