Helping our High Street

Your local Conservative Councillors are working hard to help small businesses in our High Street.  This has not happened overnight.  For the past five years the Conservatives have instigated and set up the local Business Community.  Starting with a meeting held in the local area, Cllrs Codd and Smith met up with five local businessmen.  Cllr Codd chaired that first meeting and, when he became Mayor, handed it over to Cllr Smith.

Cllr Smith reported that with the help of local Conservative Councillors he was able to hand over the Chairmanship at a meeting when some thirty-five local business people attended.  He stated that the success in bringing together the local businessmen and women was an indication of the commitment of the Conservatives to our local community and it was time for them to be in the driving seat with the Councillors giving as much support as they could.

Your Conservative Councillors have kept their word and are striving to help the High Street while the local Lib Dem Councillors have opposed the moves we are making with the business community to help with schemes of improvement that would see our High Street not fall into disrepair like so many in the country.

We will not be put off by the Lib Dems when only one ever bothered to attend any of the meetings in the in the past four years.  Is it little wonder that they lost a seat in Beverley Ward?  The lack of support, their failure to communicate with residents, their lack of transparency; all these and more tell us that they are not fit to run the Council.  Cllr Terry Paton has achieved more in four months than the Lib Dems have in four years.
