Dear Sir,
The Town Council has made three important and exciting decisions in July’s meetings, when the Independent ruling group adopted three Liberal Democrats election promises for action by the Council.
1. Can you remember Liberal Democrats Cllr Nev Jones’ election promise to do something about parking? On 14th July he and Independent Cllr Hawkins took a motion through Council to set up a ‘Parking Issues Working Group’ which will invite residents to identify areas they consider to have a parking problem, identify the land-owner, liaise with DCC and livin, and try to come up with a solution to each one.
2. You will also remember Nev Jones’ promise to regenerate the Town Centre. On 14th July he and Independent Cllr Ken Robson took a second motion through Council to set up a ‘Town Centre Regeneration and Development Working Group’ with the MP, DCC, the Town Centre Owners and the government to look at “all aspects and possibilities of regenerating and developing the Town Centre”.
3. Finally, on 21st July the Independents and Liberal Democrats amended a Labour motion and set up a special working group, called the ‘Passion-For-Every-Penny Working Group’, charged with proposing new money saving opportunities relating to the Council’s existing services, which can result in a reduction in Council Tax – by doing this they put into motion Liberal Democrat Cllr Michael Stead’s proposals before the election.
For a Town Council to take on three such ambitious commitments all at once is amazing, and every resident in the town must look forward to seeing it achieve these Liberal Democrat promises to solve the town’s problems.
