|  This
page is dedicated to outcomes arising from my recent direct
inputs and cover community development, the local economy,
well-being of residents, healthcare, education and social
care.
But
I still believe that other issues to do with anti-social behaviour
(not
only by the young but also adults e.g. dog-fouling and inconsiderate
driving and parking), car parks and their charges, pot-holes
in the road and uneven pavements are also important matters
to residents of the Blything division.
Meanwhile
here is a selection of areas where I have been focussing recently:
- I
have led a very successful campaign to bring vital Broadband
internet access to the area for home use, working from home
and tele-working - improving prospects for local employment.
- I
have established the non-political Brook Farm Residents
Association to protect and promote local interests - and
I'm happy to advise others who would like to do the same,
for their immediate community. ( see www.bfra.org.uk)
- I
have recommended the formation (and become a Trustee) of
a local charity to promote local arts and recreation.
- I
have established a not-for-profit company to support the
personal development of young adults with additional needs,
making the transition from school and college into local
employment.
- I
am working on a Skate Park project to give young people
access to sporting equipment and a social meeting place
( and keep them off the streets) - which would otherwise
be denied because of their rural location.
- I'm
also currently campaigning
vigorously (including becoming involved
in legal processes) to save the proposed new Saxmundham
and district “One-Stop” Health & Social Care Centre
- under threat of being aborted by the local Primary Care
Trust!
Being
a County Councillor should not mean only getting involved
with designated County Council matters. Residents can become
confused with the number, type and tiers of local authorities.
If I can help cut through the bureaucracy, I will do my best
- whether directly or indirectly.
