Nottingham Labour has always worked hard to tackle the issues that matter to you. Creating jobs and tackling unemployment, investing in schools and good education and making sure Nottingham is a place where people are proud to live and we can safely bring our kids up in.
We think a good education is the basis for our children to have choice later on in life so we are investing heavily in Sure Start, Children’s Centres and our Primary and Secondary Schools. We have actively supported the development of Breakfast and After-school Clubs..
We have successfully tacked crime and anti-social behaviour through our Respect for Nottingham campaign. All areas we focussed on have now improved – begging, prostitution, anti-social behaviour, street cleanliness and other environmental crime. We have employed 100 Neighbourhood Wardens to act as the Council’s eyes and ears and who have enforced the new legislation available to us to tackle the issues you have said are important to you.
We have invested heavily in the transport infrastructure in Nottingham through constantly improving our Public Transport with modern and smart buses and the first Tram Line. We have been successful in getting the green light for our 2nd and 3rd Lines to take the Tram network out to Beeston and Chilwell and through to Clifton and Wilford. We have also radically tackled congestion in our City Centre.
Nottingham Labour believes neighbourhoods are really important, which is why over the next four years we want to put the Council’s investment firmly and squarely into improving our local neighbourhoods. We will put this at the top of our agenda through providing schools which are built for our kids future learning, making our environments more attractive – new pavements, more bins, achieving decent homes standards in our neighbourhoods. We believe you are the best people to be shaping the place where you live, which is why we will listen, and act on, what you tell us are the priorities for your neighbourhood.
In shaping our manifesto we feel that our values are important and are what makes Nottingham Labour different from the other parties in Nottingham. We think governing the City is a shared responsibility and we want to do it with you rather than for you.
We believe in:
- Rights balanced by responsibilities
- Prioritising tackling poverty
- Encouraging and building social cohesion
- Active community involvement and self-help
- A vibrant city and pride in place
- Community and creating communities
- Neighbourhoods as the basis for future services
- Delivery of quality services to our citizens and neighbourhoods
- Encouraging entrepreneurialism and citizens taking the initiative
- Encouraging diversity and mixed communities
- Supporting the climate change agenda ‘Local Action – Global Protection’
- Councillors as accountable and active representatives
- Public ownership
But most of all we’re proud of Nottingham, of the opportunities it offers and the people who live here. We will work hard to defend the City from those that try and put it down and those who don’t respect it. We care about Nottingham as much as you do.
Placing your vote and your trust in the Labour Party on 3rd May 2007 will make a difference: we promise a safer, cleaner, greener, ambitious Nottingham: a city we are all proud of.
