Christian Atwood

Conservative candidate for Sherwood

Active on State

Conservative

My name is Christian Atwood and I am currently the elected conservative councillor for Sherwood. I am keen to keep addressing antisocial behaviour issues such as the trouble with catapults, and nuisance motorbikes, as well as the issue of graffiti on the old gas works( which I have successfully managed to have removed, sadly for it to come back again, however I am still trying to have the latest lot removed ). I am against the proposed spend of £70 million on another cinema in the RVP. We established as a council a group of managing agents to run the centre and I don’t believe that we should be bypassing them and encouraging the building of Vanity Project part 2, as we know from past experience that Costs have a way of keeping on climbing. I was elected to stand against the original vanity project and successfully helped stop that, so with your vote I will continue to fight for what residents want
