As a Reddish Councillor, Peter has campaigned for years on behalf of local resident’s, putting their interests first at Stockport Town Hall in order to get a fair share of the Borough’s money spent here in Reddish North!
He totally opposed the 2005 closure of Reddish Baths and his focus is now is to get new swimming facilities for Reddish North. The Lib Dem led Council has at long last recently conceded funds for a new gym and indoor sports development at the former Remploy building at Broadstone Mill. Planning has been granted, & funds secured. The Sport Trust who will run it will be based in Reddish thus giving our area a higher profile.
Both Peter and Labour locally are keen to promote a vision of increased investment to improve leisure facilities throughout Reddish.
Peter has pressed for far better level of spending on road repairs, to both fill in and prevent further pot holes, for an improvement in street cleaning, tougher enforcement against fly tipping and dog fouling and for more winter grit and dog mess bin’s installed across the ward.
He has worked with local Community group on Poets Corner estate in calling for more affordable social housing construction which local families and young people can afford, such as is envisaged at the site former Vale Pub on Longford Rd Wast.

ReplyDeleteSounds nice and fluffy and cuddly, doesn't it.
Peter only does this if he agrees with your point of view. But it is not only Peter, all councillors are pretty much similar. I have written to Peter a number of times and mostly don't even get a reply. Peter is ideologically wedded to a war on local motorists and the erosion of freedoms by supporting repressive actions by the Police. There is no legislation that allows the prohibition of consumption of alcohol in any area but we see this being enforced in Reddish along with misleading signage along Houldsworth Square and Gorton Road.
Section 13 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 enables local councils to create DPPO areas but does not give authorities the power to impose blanket bans. The legislation was never intended to ban drinking in public places but the Police are abusing this power with the support of most councillors, I am assuming that Peter also supports this abuse along with his colleagues.
There is a widespread vilification of young people throughout the country and Reddish is no different, this vilification and demonising of young people is encouraged by National and Local politicians with the consequent harassment of teenagers by the liberal use of 'Dispersal Orders.' These orders are simplistic soloutions based on prejudice and subjective fears of youngsters and criminalises normal teenage activity of gathering together. If young people are treated as criminals it is possible that they will live up to how they are perceived.
