Statement to voters
I’m Richard Henry and I’m proud to be standing as your Labour Candidate for the Old Stevenage County Council Division election on Thursday 1st May.
Full statement
Living in the town for over 33 years, it’s always been my home. In simpler words, I love this town.
And it frustrates me that we’re let down, by inactive Conservative County Councillors who don’t listen to our community.
It’s time for that to change.
I’ve been a Borough Councillor for 29 years, and spent my career as a social worker and teacher. Everything I’ve done has been about supporting others.
For too long, the Conservative-run County Council have let down our residents and schools and left roads, transport and social care to deteriorate. We all deserve so much better. It’s time to Heart Herts!
I want to be your champion on the County Council, fixing these issues one by one. It’s time to vote for change. And you can read my plan for change below!
My plan for change in Old Stevenage
1. Tackle the Cost of Living Crisis - I’ll push the County Council to invest in Stevenage, boost our local economy and leave more money in your pocket.
2. Be your champion on the County Council - It’s time to move on from unseen, unbothered Conservative County Councillors and elect a Councillor who cares about our community.
3. Introduce a SEND taskforce - We’ll set up a SEND taskforce of parents, schools and representatives to address the mess left by the Conservative County Council.
4. Crack down on anti-social behaviour - We’ll introduce a zero tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour, from enforcing fly-tipping fines to ensuring rapid police responses.
5. Finally fix Potholes - We’ll establish a road and transport improvement plan to tackle potholes and ensure we have reliable, affordable public transport.
