Thanks to the support of thousands of residents across Swindon, Labour took a big step forward in the local elections on May 5th.
It means Labour in Swindon is now in a stronger position to stand up for residents, both against the Coalition’s reckless and unfair economic plans, and to push for the changes you want from Swindon Council.
We understand people’s anger at the way the Conservative Council has wasted taxpayers’ money on things like the Town Centre fountain and the failed wi-fi scheme; we understand the anger at the deep cuts to the support our elderly and vulnerable neighbours rely on; and we understand the frustration at a Council that can’t seem to make real progress on the basics: well maintained roads and safety from anti-social behaviour.
And over the coming months we will be fighting harder than ever to get your voices heard.
But to make sure we’re best placed to fight on your side we need to find out more about the issues that most concern you. Over the last five months, Labour activists, candidates and councillors have had over 10,000 conversations on the doorstep with residents across Swindon. We want to continue that work, to listen more.
So please, spend a couple of minutes completing the following online survey and help us focus on the issues important to you.
Councillor Jim Grant,
Swindon Labour Group Leader

PARKS LABOUR COUNCILLORS, have called for the urgent repair of the pot holes in Parks, and have launched a survey to ensure all Parks Pot Holes are repaired.
Cllr Mark Dempsey said: ‘The acute winter weather has severely damaged Swindon’s roads so much so that it is becoming known as “Pothole cityâ€. Roads in Parks have been particularly affected including Kingswood Avenue, Whitbourne Avenue and Cranmore Avenue. On Kingswood Avenue, there are 20 pot holes in 20 metres of road.
‘Unfortunately the Tory council has slashed the money on road repairs by £500,000 over the past 5 years. Our residents are suffering with untold damage to people’s vehicles. Many of the roads in Parks are so bad that they really need to be completely resurfaced.’
‘We are asking residents to join our call for Swindon Borough Council to repair the Parks pot holes. Residents can sign our petition electronically at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ParksPH/petition.html. We will be taking the petition out across Parks and we are also asking residents to compete a survey so that we can tell Swindon Council which road need to be repaired”.
We would also like residents to send us their photos of the worst Pot Holes in Parks so that we can send Swindon Borough Council a dossier of the Parks potholes. They can send their photos to mark@markdempsey.org.uk‘
