WARDLE AND WEST LITTLEBOROUGH: Ashley Dearnley (Con)


18/ 4/2008

I BELIEVE that living and working in Wardle and West Littleborough and coming into daily contact with the local people is very important. Not only in dealing with issues and problems that may arise, but being part of the local community and involved in many local activities means I share your concerns for our area.

One of the main concerns is that of littler, graffiti and general neglect, that is why I feel strongly that the Council should employ a designated street cleaner for our area who would remove the litter and ensure that street ‘furniture’, road and pavement repairs are all dealt with and resolved quickly.

The high level of Council Tax, which is now one of the highest in Greater Manchester, is also of concern especially for the retired, families and those on low income. The Council Tax should not be so high and there should be a further reduction for the retired which this year would have meant no increase in Tax. Unfortunately the Lib-Dems would not support this.

My priorities if re-elected will be:

  • A lower Council Tax
  • A tax discount for over 60’s
  • Cleaner streets
  • More police on the beat
  • Pavement and footpaths repaired and maintained to a high standard.
