“KATHERINE WEST – A STRONG VOICE FOR RESIDENTS IN ALEXANDRA”

“Ipswich has always been my home town and I love living and working here with my husband and two children. We all have a vested interest in making sure our town is a safe, enjoyable place to live & raise a family & if elected will fight for this ”

“I know residents are worried about rising crime & antisocial behaviour, if we want to see improvements tough decisions must be taken & this Council is not doing enough. I listen to concerns about housing, lack of opportunity & parking issues and I share your frustrations. I will be a strong opposition voice on the Council, making sure your views are listened to.”

“I will support community projects in the area & ensure we get a fair share of available funding. Historically Alexandra hasn't benefited as much as other arts of the town an I would like to reverse this trend.”

“Another Conservative voice on the Borough Council would allow an even more robust challenge to the current Labour administration. It is only by speaking up and working together that we can make positive changes to ensure the best for this part of town and make it a better place to live and work.”

“YOUR PRIORITIES ARE MY PRIORITIES”

“PARKING ENFORCEMENT ”

“Did you know that parking enforcement is totally the responsibility of IBC yet they consistently fail to enforce the rules in our community? The changes to the Resident’s Parking Scheme has also caused many of you problems. It’s time for a change.”

“RUBBISH! ”

“The environment is important to us all so why does this Council fail so badly in our area? Rats in the Town Centre, rubbish bags left out all night, flytipping, graffiti & worst of all landowners allowed to let their land become an eyesore. You don’t deserve this.”

“AIR QUALITY ”

“Poor Air Quality is responsible for over 60 deaths in Ipswich each year. IBC are responsible for this in Ipswich and they are failing you. 40% of the worst areas in Ipswich are in Alexandra. Conservative Councillors recently came up with great ideas to combat this – we were ignored. Together we can beat this”
