MIKE GILBERT – CENTRAL WARD
I hope Central Ward residents feel that there have been some significant improvements and vote for me in 2011.
The area either side of the Haven Bridge Road/High Street has been tidied and a seat located for local people. Haven Bank has a series of new bins too.
As a resident of my Ward I litter pick the whole area and having raised concerns about Station Approach, Tower Street and Queen Street have helped to bring forward resurfacing and potholing work. However there is still work to do and I believe I am best placed to continue with this work.
