Today we publish Exeter Labour Party's Election Manifesto, for the elections on 5th May. The pledges are central to what we wish to achieve over the coming 12 months if we retain control of Exeter City Council.
There are 5 key pledges:
1. A Prosperous Exeter
To extend the success of the Princesshay development through the regeneration of the bus station site and the provision of a new swimming pool located within reach of the city centre.
2. More Housing for Exeter
To provide a supply of high quality, social rented housing within the city. This is against the backdrop of this Tory/Lib Dem government decision to implement swingeing housing cuts.
3. A Greener Exeter
To continue to make Exeter as environmentally friendly as possible. To build on Exeter’s already excellent recycling rates and encouraging further environmental improvements like those being put in place in Cowick Street.
4. More Jobs for Exeter
To encourage the creation of jobs in the city by attracting major businesses such as John Lewis Home and Waitrose and to fund providers of advice for start-up businesses.
5. Better Parks for Exeter
Exeter already has a wonderful range of parks and it is our aim to maintain and extend play facilities and equipment in parks including refurbishing the paddling pools in St Thomas and Heavitree.
In addition, there are another 37 pledges in areas such as Community, Environment, Planning, Transport, Employment, Housing, Equality, and Council Services that we aim to address.
These commitments are to be found on the reverse side of my election address
