Hello Queen’s Park voters – here we are again!
Local groups Amex Area Neighbourhood Action Forum and White Street Community Garden have, like last year, created a non-partisan info-poster.
The other candidates who want your vote call our area ‘Queen’s Park Ward’. I call it ‘where I live’!
I walk the same pavements as you, I look at the same tagging, the same overflowing bins. The emails I send to our local ward councillors don’t get answered either!
My son went to Orchard Day Nursery and Queen’s Park Primary. He played in the park. Now age 20, will he ever afford to live here? In 2019, I established the thriving White Street Community Garden – with no support from our elected Councillors.
I’ve been active in our community for years, and I’m not being parachuted in by a political party.
Do you ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?
A year ago Labour parachuted their young hopefuls into Queen’s Park. Smiling candidates sporting red rosettes assured us that once elected they would “get the bins sorted” and “crack the whip” on a long list of resident concerns from drug dealers and needles in the park to pot holes in the roads. “Other councils do this routinely so why can’t ours?”, they said. One year on, maybe Labour can answer that question for us?
fantastic! you are for a glutton for punishment, though… good luck
Good for you Adrian, I would vote for you but I’m not in Queens, I would try to persuade some friends there but they are radical Greens so a lost cause 😆
Thanks Robert!
I received your By-Election Leaflet through my door today Adrian. See you at the Hustings on the 22nd!
You’ve got my Vote.
