For a Safer, Greener, Fairer Chelmsford

Our 10 key pledges for the 2007 election

For a Greener Chelmsford

For a Safer Chelmsford

• Food waste collected weekly (recycle it and don't allow incineration)

• Promote policies to help buses, trains, walking and cars (not promote policies that just help motorists)

• Ensure cleaner streets and public places (not more litter)

• Put any major new housing development in a sustainable new community (not the Tories' continuous urban sprawl round Chelmsford)

• Promote energy saving and green energy generation (no new nuclear power station in Essex - or elsewhere)

• Work to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour before it starts (not ineffective, sound-bites)

• Put more police and community support officers on the street (not wasting £ billions on a massive national database and ID cards)

• Open up local government with decisions taken more locally (not decisions behind closed doors and ignoring your views)

• Spend more on pavement and pothole repairs (not Tory cuts in spending on pavements)

• Campaign for a fair system of local tax, related to ability to pay (axe the unfair council tax, that is backed by the other parties)
