June 4th Election Adress

15 May, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Dear Elector,

As your Mile Cross County Councillor I have continued to lead the Labour Group on Schools and all Children’s issues as well as helping many of you withspecific constituency problems. I work closely with my City Councillor colleagues, Ian Gibson MP and Richard Howitt MEP. This means that Mile Cross is robustly represented at all levels of government by a strong Labour team.

A successful election result on June 4th will help keep this in place. Mile Cross hits many Labour targets at all these levels for investment and action to make residents lives better.

These elections will be held with the Euro elections on 4th June. The current international financial environment needs strong leadership at all levels so I would urge you to also support our Labour MEPs who work within the most effective alliance in the European Parliament. Whatever happens next will not work well in a narrow insular nationalist arena. The other big issue for us all, as I know all too well as a grandparent, is that we have no choice but to put the environment at the very top of our list, even above the current financial difficulties. 

Don’t forget, under the European election all votes carry equal weight so not voting is not a smart option. 
Peter has championed Mile Cross as your County Councillor for the last 4 years.

Here is a lists a few of his achievements:-

A significant special grant was negotiated from Norfolk Children’s Services budgets that enabled the Phoenix to finally open.

The transformation of local schools with the opening last September of a brand new £5m primary school and the £10m re build at Sewell Park College. Both were nationally Labour funded.

Peter Works closely with Ian Gibson MP & Richard Howitt MEP so Mile Cross residents are represented on their doorstep through to the wider international arena

Peter is campaigning for County Community Action Budgets. These would be in your local councillor’s hands to directly fund your projects cutting the bureaucracy and giving you a direct say.

He is leading the campaigning to keep  the £1.5m Labour financed deprivation money targeted to our children and community but cut by the Tories in their last budget.

Peter says,

 ”Don’t be fooled we are not all the same and your vote really does count. Please help me to continue to help you”
