The Liberal Democrat candidate for Shaw and Nine Elms is James Farr. James is 39 and has lived in the ward in Middleleaze since 1995. James and Anita have a 4 ½ year old daughter.
James feels the local problems in West Swindon are not being addressed by the Council. Dog bins are over-flowing, litter is left to pile up and hedge rows are not being cut often enough. Some of our shopping centres are suffering from anti-social behaviour and criminal damaged. Pot holes and damaged pavements are often not being repaired, or not properly repaired. Our recycling centre is not being emptied often enough, meaning local residents who want to recycling are having to dump bags there.
I also object to the proposed housing developments that would place massive pressure on our roads and infrastructure that have been proposed by Wiltshire Council. Conservative-run Swindon Borough Council are claiming it's nothing to do with them, but it's Conservative-run Wiltshire Council who are proposing the development. The Conservatives are letting out area down.
I'm a local man with a family, this area needs someone like me to really care for the issues that matter to you.
