A property on the Bramcote/Wollaton border was broadcasting extremely loud music all afternoon today which was upsetting numerous local residents. After receiving a number of complaints about the noise I called on the house and asked them to turn it down. Unfortunately all I received was abuse and attempts (unsuccessful) at intimidation. As a result […]

Sir Ed Davey is the new leader of the Liberal Democrats. Ed was the Secretary of State for the Environment and Climate Change in the coalition government and delivered the greenest government ever. He will make a great leader of the party.

Residents in Wembley Gardens and Gateford Close held a really useful open air meeting yesterday evening to discuss the new proposed plans for the Bramcote Hills Golf Course. Nearly 50 people were in attendance and it was my privilege to attend as the ward councillor. Residents had the opportunity to look at the plans and […]

This is the text of a letter I sent to the Newark Advertiser this week: Dear Sirs Robert Jenrick seems determined that his legacy to Newark will be to be remembered as the worst MP this town has ever had. Not content with making a large personal contribution to the air of sleeze that dominates […]

Our hapless Prime Minister chose to visit Broxtowe yesterday, visiting Beeston and Stapleford. He didn’t display the usual courtesy of even informing the local authority that he was coming. He was here to promote the governments cycling strategy, so it seems off he chose a county where the Tory controlled county council sent back half […]

Well there is no disguising how disappointing last nights results were for us. Nationally we improved our vote share by 4.5% but ended up with less MP’s than previously, and of course we lost our leader Jo Swinson. Something clearly went wrong with our messaging as we started the campaign on a high and went […]
