Ready to be doorstep challenged
Like I said before election day, it is so important that residents see their councillor on the doorstep and be able to hold them to account for what they have done and what the council has done. This week I started with Winchelsea Road.
In this visit I was given 4 issues/questions to deal with – A public litter bin full to the brim and in no sign of being emptied, why the council only collects 3 bulky items at a time, a very specific council tax query and a question about planning in the area.
Within 24 hours I was able to get answers/solve 3 out of the 4 queries and I’m hopeful that the last one will be sorted tomorrow. This type of thing is exactly why I wanted to be a councillor!
I’ll be visiting a different street every week. You don’t have to wait until I visit though – if you need my help now please get in touch.
Also this week I went to the Ore in Bloom fundraising quiz night – which was incredibly well attended. Our team Eastern Block didn’t do too badly but Council Leader Jeremy Birch’s Twitterers won!
I will be writing more about Ore in Bloom at some point. The organiser has some wonderful ideas for Ore and I hope to be able to post some of those ideas here on the website soon.
