Polling Day this Thursday

Just a reminder that we have an important By-Election to be held this Thursday, 4 August and I would welcome your support.

The Town Council has an important role as the voice of the town.  It has been Labour controlled since May 2021 and, in just over a year, we have seen –

  • The new CCTV cameras are up and running in 12 locations across the town.
  • A very successful Platinum Jubilee event was held in the Recreation Ground.
  • New play equipment has been installed in the Braybrooke Road play area.
  • A new Supermarket is under construction.
  • £50,000 has been set aside for Youth Initiatives in the town.
  • Work on the one-way system in Gladstone Street is due to start very soon.
  • The right of Desborough residents to speak at council meetings has been restored.

Labour is delivering for Desborough and I want to join my Labour colleagues to move the agenda forward. My personal priorities for the town include –

Young People – I want to work with the younger generation/young adults as there have been concerns with their safety as well as their well-being. I also feel they need more representation. They are the future of the town.

Diversity – Desborough is a growing town with a mixture of cultures; we need to embrace/learn and welcome them. We live in an international age, and our growth and our future depends on how positively we meet change in our community.

Public Safety – There have been concerns over the public not feeling safe due to recent events in the town. I know new cameras have been put in place but I would like to do more and work closely with the community.

Environment – Rubbish, littering and graffiti has also been a concern in parts of the town; there is a need to work with the community to stop this and, as the town continues to grow, we need better recycling facilities.

Desborough is a growing town and I want to ensure that we get our fair share of available resources. My Vision is – a safer, cleaner Desborough with more opportunities for all, to bring the different communities, ages and cultures together.
