council elections

We were all given promises by all the candidates for the recent various council elections, has anyone noticed any difference to anything since? Do we really need County Councils, District Councils and Parish Councils?

If this government really wants to cut costs merge County Councils and District Councils and scrap half the elected councillors who all claim allowances,reduce the number of employees and reform the incredibly generous pension scheme that public sector employees enjoy.

Has anyone seen or heard from any local politician since May?

Re: council elections

Even though I didn't win the District Elections I have been very busy.
Even not being elected is no reason to do nothing.

* Iv visited a resident who's fence was graffiti-ed and got it removed
* Iv had ACE center Governors meetings
* Glyme Hall trustee Meetings
* Helped at Holy Trinity School Fete (cooking 270 sausages lol )
* Im arranging to sponsor a youth sports team to attend competition in the USA
* Been to see 2 residents on Worcester Road to see if we can get speed strips and flashing repeaters to slow the cars down
* Seeing if the silly air pollution box at horsefair can be replaced with a high level warning sign warning traffic of a blackspot/bottleneck
* and attending meetings to see if there is a solution to the problem of there being NO light industrial sites for local businesses to expand and employ more CHIPPY people!
* Nearly forgot! Trying to get proper bins in bottom side car park on market day so rubbish doesn't blow all over the town!
