Save Our Salford

With regards to our great City of Salford,the proposals put forward by the Boundary Commission for England are outrageous. We need to retain our two constituencies so that we do not have a limited voice in parliament. I do not want Salford to lose its identity as a city, with the core such as Salford Cathedral; Salford University; Salford Royal Foundation Hospital Trust; Shopping City and the Quays going into a Manchester parliamentary constituency.

I have signed the council petition and voted for the council resolution opposing these proposals;posted my objections on the commission website; joined the facebook group (Save Our Salford) and sent a letter of protest to the commission.

Traffic Calming - Seedley Park Road and Seedley Terrace

I am pleased to announce that Labour have listened and responded to concerns raised by residents at both the Ordsall and Langworthy Community Committee and the Seedley and Langworthy Forum in relation to the problem of speeding vehicles.

A traffic calming scheme will be introduced along Seedley Terrace and additional measures will be installed on Seedley Park Road.

Launch of No Cold Calling Zone

I was delighted to attend Beech Court on Monday 12th September for the launch of the No Cold Calling Zone. This gave me the opportunity to congratulate everyone involved for their hard work.

This initiative which will increase community safety has been driven by Graham Worrell(Secretary of Beech Court TARA) and local residents with support from the police, Salix Homes and the council.
The zone includes Hornbeam Court,Salix Court,Malus Court and Lombardy Court.

Post Salford Riots

What an incredible few weeks it has been but Langworthy residents have proven how resilient and strong they are as a community. Just days after the riots on August 13th they were refusing to have their lives disrupted and came out to enjoy themselves at Salford Saturday on Chimney Pot Park. It was great to see people of all ages participating in the activities; especially the children on the popular climbing wall.

A week on from August 9th and I was given the opportunity to comment on the riots and its effect on local residents and businesses in Salford on 'Beswick at Breakfast'.
