Focus on King's Hedges: Campaign Updates from the Team

The closure of the busy cycle path from Woodhead Drive to Hawkins Road has caused some inconvenience.

I have been unable to persuade the contractors that closing the whole road at once is a bad idea, but they have at least put up diversion signs to help people navigate after requests from me (and others).

Polling day today!

Today is polling day. Please don't forget to vote for Neil McGovern to get a hard working local councillor.

Remember Neil lives in the ward and is the only local resident who can win.

Neil is already active on issues that affect local residents: from campaigning against the negative subsidy taking 1500 pounds from each council tenant each year to working to help save Milton Road trees.

The two polling stations are :
  • Arbury Community Centre on Campkin Road (for those with poll numbers starting G1, living in the south east of King's Hedges), and
  • North Arbury Chapel on Northfield Avenue (for those with poll numbers starting G2, living in the north west of the ward)
