Old Town and Lawn - Joan Mortimer
Joan, a retired teacher, first became involved with the local Liberal Democrat Party on a social basis, but soon recognized that here was a party with a viable alternative to the then two main parties.
The Liberal Democrats are the only party to have consistently stood up for the interests of Old Town and Lawn residents.
Only the Liberal Democrats stood up against development on Coate and the Front Garden, whilst the Labour government imposed house-building targets and the Regional Conservatives decided they should be in Swindon. Now that the coalition has abolished these regional targets the Conservative Council still wants to build on Coate. This shows their true colours.
The Conservatives are also letting down Old Town and Lawn by blocking Fleming Way to cars so that additional traffic is diverted into an already congested Old Town.
The Conservative Council have also let down Old Town by allowing a reduction of Bus Services in Okus, allowing the development at Pipers to dominate the landscape and they have not lead the Locarno development in the way they should.
We are not in coalition locally and I will fight for the residents of Old Town and Lawn.
