Section 3: Community Involvement
Section 4: Assisting Constituents
Over the last 12 months, I have championed many Highway improvements across the ward. I have had new pavements installed on Hoo Rd and Northumberland Avenue.
I have secured the necessary funding to have a new, dedicated zebra crossing installed on Sutton Rd, close to Brinton Park.
I have addressed the issue of speeding on Silverwoods Way by getting Highways to install 30 mph markings on the road and Iv secured the funding for a speed activated sign that warns motorists if they speed.
I have just secured Highways funding that will enable the worst pavements in Blount Terrace to be completely resurfaced.
I'm on 5 different residents' Facebook groups, on which I regularly post stories that highlight the issues I'm progressing and residents regularly contact me through these groups. I also have my councillor page on Facebook that again I communicate directly to residents with.
I have also put out 5 newsletters this year, highlighting all the issues I am looking into together with my achievements and I can be contacted via email and on my land line number by residents.
