LISTENING TO PEOPLE IS WHAT COUNTS!!

Your local Labour councillors and the rest of the Brooklands Labour Team want to know the views of local residents. As Councillor Sue Murphy says:

"You have to listen to what local people are saying and take their views into account if you want to represent them properly. We always help people as much as we can but we need to know what is going on in the local area. Residents provide us with this information and it is a vital part of our work as councillors. And a part, incidentally, that we all enjoy"

Last Saturday Councillors Sue Murphy, Glyn Evans and Sue Cooley were joined by Labour MP Paul Goggins and other members of the Brooklands Labour Team to undertake a residents survey.

Sue Murphy said;

" We spoke to dozens and dozens of residents who told us their views on a range of issues that affect them locally. We will be following this up with action"

WINTER CONDITIONS- A MESSAGE FROM YOUR LABOUR COUNCILLORS

We would just like to let you know that Manchester City Council have enough stocks of salt to grit the primary routes and there are teams of Street Scene Operatives out shovelling snow in District Centres.

Prioritised gritting outside Sheltered Housing and Childrens Centres has taken place.

Side roads can't be done as the Councils eight gritters are working flat out on primary routes and also the grit salt needs to be churned into the ice by car tyre use or heavy footfall.

Attempts are being made by council staff to telephone vulnerable elderly residents to check they are OK and would urge all residents to keep any eye on their neighbours in this bad weather.
