It has been my honour and privilege to serve the constituents of Marple South and High Lane ward as their Councillor on Stockport Council for the past 4 years, the last year of which has been as in Independent Councillor. I have submitted my nomination papers to stand for election on 2nd May 2019 in the hope that the constituents will vote for me for another 4 years.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being your Councillor and the time has flown in. In that four year period I have worked tirelessly for your area. I work with many community groups and have a track record of actually getting things done instead of just putting them on a leaflet including but not limited to -
1. Re-surfacing of the entire Middlewood Way along with extra bins
2. My Marple Pool campaign and petition, has resulted in Council looking at a new leisure facility in Marple
3. Residents parking schemes throughout the ward
4. The only Councillor or candidate to call two public meetings to let Marple South & High Lane esidents know about the GMSF Plan, GM’s plan for development
5. Volunteered to help at the annual High Lane Santa tour and helped organise the first High Lane Great Christmas Get-Together
6. I also managed to get the Street Poppies scheme extended to High Lane
7. Various potholes reported and sorted
In my short time in politics, I have seen how divisive it has become with your representatives often putting their political party interests in front of the interests of those they are meant to serve - YOU.
So, I am standing as an Independent Candidate, the only candidate who is answerable directly to you and not to a Political Party group leader. If elected, I will -
1. Continue the fight to protect the greenbelt from mass development
2. Continue my campaign for a new leisure facility in Marple
3. Fight for new infrastructure and tackle congestion
4. Help law abiding citizens by working with the Police to enforce the law
5. Fight to freeze Council tax and re-structure the Council.
6. Continue, as I have always done, to put the best interests of the constituents of Marple South & High Lane first.
More details on all of these can be found on my website,
www.independentcllr.info or on facebook CllrKennyBlair in due course.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and may I take this opportunity to wish all candidates well in the election.
