Campaigning and other work
Tonight I am back on the campaign trail, and it will be nice to be back and taking the opportunity to meet more local people. I particularly enjoy knocking on the houses of people I met last year, and receiving just as warm a reception now as then.
Afterwards I am meeting a constituent to discuss a school admission issue which I am keen to get to the bottom of. I know how lots of local people get very stressed trying to get their children into good schools, and whilst we all want every school to be as good as the next, it is important that the admissions system is as open and transparent as possible in the meantime. So I am going to find out a bit more about this person’s problem.
Also today I am chasing up a housing issue. Many local people will be aware of the current works in Rainsough and Carr Clough being undertaken to renovate the roofs of the Council houses there. A resident who owns his own home rang me last night to discuss the issue of repairs to a chimney stack that is jointly his and his tenant-neighbour.
So the casework doesn’t stop as the campaign goes on, and of course our St Mary’s candidate Mary D’Albert, and me, and the rest of the Prestwich Lib Dems are more than happy to assist with anything at this time of year.
