Street Surgery in Newton St Michael's


Politics is at its best when you are in the heart of a community trying to make a difference to people's lives.

Marigold Roy (Our Newton St Michael's Team Leader) and I did a street surgery today, and despite the cold, we were genuinely inundated with people coming to us to raise their issues and concerns. Others just wanted to thank us for the work we have done opposing mobile phone masts in the area.

It is worrying though that in 2 hours we were told about the concerns of drug dealing in the area, garden walls being knocked down, graffiti, vandalism, dirty streets, pensioners too afraid to go out - to name but a few issues.

Cleraly the politicians in power at the moment are failing - All the more reason for a change and for people to vote Conservative.
