Chelmsford’s Bid for City Status
A lot done but more to do was the message from the Conservatives at the launch of their local election campaigns in Chelmsford on Saturday.
“Chelmsford has made great progress over the last eight years and this year there is no council tax increase because the council is now living within its means. Running the Council efficiently has enabled us to increase investment in street cleaning, refurbish the Civic Centre making it fully accessible to the disabled and provide a new home for the CAB. But we’re not sitting back and even in these difficult times we’ve got some exciting projects in the pipeline” said Roy Whitehead, leader of the Conservative Group and candidate for South Hanningfield, Stock and Magaretting.
“Bringing John Lewis and Primark to Chelmsford is a great vote of confidence in Chelmsford and its future. Encouraging business to bring new jobs into the area is one way in which the Conservatives plan to protect Chelmsford from the recession.
“Chelmsford is not just a place to work it’s also our home which is why the Conservatives plan to provide much needed affordable housing, improve local recycling and protect local woodlands and green spaces.
“This is a rounded package that is affordable and sustainable and will ensure Chelmsford continues to grow and thrive.”
