2007 Resident’s Survey (Spring)

The spring 2007 resident’s survey took in over 20,000 households in Telford. The response on the doorstep was warm and welcoming, and the postal response far better than we could have expected. The survey results provided us with a real insight into local concerns.

The results included the following:

Policing – 74% said the police are not very visible in Telford

Road pricing – 83% disagree with the government’s road pricing plans

Telford’s traffic – 85% feel that Telford and Wrekin Conservatives are right to oppose the unpopular traffic schemes

Health – 96% are concerned about the proposal to cut paediatric services at the Princess Royal Hospital

One resident in (Ward) pointed out the irony that the PRH was founded under the last Conservative government and its services are now under threat because of Labour’s mishandling of local NHS debt

LABOUR’S FAILINGS - many people in (ward) are telling us that the Labour Council has been out of touch for many years, is arrogant and is continuously failing to deliver what residents want.

They see instead high and increasing council tax bills, roads and pavements needing repair, the concreting over of green spaces and the loss of trees, the imposition of costly highways schemes and lack of regeneration where it is most needed.

In contrast we believe that listening to people is vital. That is why you will find that today’s Conservatives are more green, more family friendly and committed to giving power to local people and local organisations. We firmly believe that ideas and schemes should never be imposed but discussed and debated.

What we want to see are common sense solutions, action not words and the end to party political squabbling.

• We are campaigning hard to stop the proposed cuts at the Princess Royal Hospital
• We want to see more police in and around Telford , to reduce crime and increase public confidence
• We want to improve local services, protect the environment and help the whole community work together to create a better quality of life for everyone in Telford.
