Improving Local Services

getting best value for the taxpayer

I will be working hard to improve services for residents across our area.

I want services that respond to the aspirations of all our commuities; cleaner streets; good schools offering the best possible education; a housing service that meets the needs of tenants; better sport, leisure and cultural provision; support for local jobs.

And we must never forget that these services are paid for by you, the taxpayer, or that the maximum value must be achieved for every pound of the public’s money.
