'LATEST 'HUGHES
REPORT' £1,500 COMMITTED TO KICK START
SIDMOUTH CCTV SYSTEM APPEAL
Ladies and Gentlemen.
For the past 16 and 14 years respectively
I have been honoured by your support in working for the Sidmouth Sidford Ward/Division
on East Devon District and Devon County Councils. I believe that over those years
the record shows the results achieved on your behalf on a wide range of issues.
I have always sought to stand up for what is right for both the individual
and for the wider community and have always listened to the opinions of LOCAL
residents.
I pledge to devote myself to making sure that all the
people in this community continue to have the representation they so rightly deserve
and I am always available should you wish to raise an issue with me. I
am respectfully yours Stuart
Towards
& Beyond 2010
I shall continue to support the development of affordable/shared
equity housing on the remaining land at Stowford Rise. However the amenity land
and wooded area behind High Meadow must be safeguarded. The long awaited & much
needed Community Centre must also be provided as part of the first phase of any
future development.
I shall both support and promote measures that will
improve the safety, environment and quality of life for residents. The Woolbrook
20mph zone has already seen a reduction in vehicle speeds. I shall also continue
to promote Community Safety issues such as CCTV for the town centre through the
Sidmouth Local Action Group & East/Mid Devon Community Safety partnership (CDRP).
Climate change poses the greatest threat to Sidmouth and further erosion in the
vicinity of Pennington Point/Alma Bridge will leave eastern town exposed to flooding
from a severe south easterly storm. I shall continue to raise this issue and
press for the much needed coastal protection scheme.
Pedestrianisation
(full/partial) and Park and Ride are two issues that I shall continue to champion
the cause for and which now feature in the Vision Groups 'Vision for Sidmouth'
document. These two measures go hand in hand towards providing a quality shopping
experience for local residence and visitors alike by removing vehicles from the
town centre.
Sharing Your Caring.
I shall also continue
to fight and seek the support of the Town, District and County Councils for/to:
The creation of further employment opportunities in the Sid Valley and
to maximise the full potential of World Heritage Site status (Jurassic Coast).
Including the provision of an Interpretation Centre.
Phase 2 of the Sidford
to Sidmouth cycle route with link to Fortesque Road, providing a safe off road
route to the town and Sidmouth College. (Planning has now been granted)
Work
in partnership with other local authorities and organisations for the benefit
of Sidmouth, i.e. County and P3 Parish Paths Partnership.
Promote and
support activities for the youth of the Sid Valley & Youth Council. |
