I set up the charity Vivacity 15 years ago and I remember so clearly unveiling the art work for the library bus. Libraries are one of the services under threat, if elected I will fight tooth and nail to keep these services coming to all the Peterborough villages.

HELPSTON VILLAGE HALL

Lots of people have asked where I stand on the need for a new village hall in Helpston. I suspect some of the other candidates have visited the hall. I am a frequent user: birthday party's for my children, art exhibitions and many other events. I have served behind the hatch, provided home cooked cake and even drank the occasional pint of beer. The hall has worked hard for us and now the time is right to work hard for a new village hall. I have no doubt that Helpston needs a new village hall. Heath Road is one of a small number of sites it could go; wherever it goes I will give it my full support.

While out door knocking in Barnack, I have spoken to lots of people who have expressed deep concern about the planning application on Uffington Road for use as a site for gypsy/ traveller families. My approach is always to oppose inappropriate development and to work with those affected to make sure their voices are heard. I have years of experience within a number of local authorities and know how to pull the right leavers in planning application processes and more broadly. Firstly you need to be able to submit your views, here is a link to the planning portal for this application:

https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=SUC6HKMLLLA00&fbclid=IwY2xjawJ3HPJleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXeDBscDJ0VUlOZTJhQnBkAR4Q5YWhRj6WAjL-cxrwVBGvYAgGskGxPU5Ahaz-uIxifPLNX11oUv_uwur0Rg_aem_o4TouTkL01PtHjh2cQZrHg&sfnsn=scwspmo

Equally importantly you need to be able to find and re quote policies which are appropriate to your concerns. Peterborough City Council’s current policies relating to land use can be found here:

https://cccandpcc.sharepoint.com/sites/PCCPlanningPolicyPublicData/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FPCCPlanningPolicyPublicData%2FShared%20Documents%2FPlanning%20Policy%2FAdopted%20Local%20Plan%2FPeterborough%20Local%20Plan%2F1%2EPeterborough%20Local%20Plan%2024%20July%202019%2Epdf&parent=%2Fsites%2FPCCPlanningPolicyPublicData%2FShared%20Documents%2FPlanning%20Policy%2FAdopted%20Local%20Plan%2FPeterborough%20Local%20Plan&p=true&ga=1

I suspect all of the candidates will wish to talk about this. I am well armed to help you with practical steps to get your views across.

Happy to have a chat about this.

This is the only children’s play area continually available in Helpston- in my view it is woeful. If elected one of my priorities would be to work with local people to find a new site for play provision. Young children deserve better than this.

Really proud of my daughter Constance who is volunteering at the messy church sessions at Helpston and Barnack churches - if you haven’t been with your young children then you are missing a delightful event.

I was enjoying my morning run until I found this monstrosity. A collection of electrical goods dumped on private land. If elected I will campaign hard to find funding for local landowners who wish to install CCTV and work with the Council to help stop this crime.
