Why You Should Vote for Me Tomorrow


A reminder why you should vote for me tomorrow:
I have, for some time, been involved in the local community and should now like to make a more positive contribution. The County Council elections on May 2nd give me that opportunity.

I am already getting things done:
MICHAEL READ HAS SUCCESS WITH MUDDY SHAKESPEARE ROAD BUS STOP

Flooding at a bus stop at the eastern end of Shakespeare Road, that was causing considerable inconvenience to residents, had not been reported.  But as soon as I reported it to the County Council they took action and issued the following statement:
It is anticipated that a hard standing area will be formed between the hedge and the kerb line as you suggested and as you will appreciate we will need to ensure that this is constructed with a suitable fall to ensure that water is shed directed onto the road eliminating the current flooding issue. 

If elected I will:
  • ·         Fight to preserve our green spaces from inappropriate development, including the continued threat to Eastleigh Recreation Ground and Stoneham Park
  • ·         As a former teacher, work to maintain the quality of our schools
  • ·         Fight for 20mph speed limits outside schools for when pupils arrive and depart, controlled by electronic traffic signs.
  • ·         Prevent the use of speed humps as road pinching can be used instead and is far less damaging
  • ·         Seek to improve driving standards across the county by driver education, both through the cooperation of schools and colleges and road safety groups.  This includes the use of appropriate speed.
  • ·         Work to ensure that public transport services are maintained
  • ·         Work to maintain the current level of council tax and services
  • ·         As Labour and LibDem climate policies have brought power cuts closer, work to lessen their impact by encouraging economical use of energy at home and work.
  • ·         Seek to increase apprenticeship schemes and encourage industry to come to Eastleigh.
  • ·         Make myself available for consultation at any reasonable time by personal contact or e-mail.
