Environment – Development of Local Areas through Proper Co-ordinated Planning and always Community Led Discussion

Local Community Activities – to be Supported and Funded

Transport – We need to provide Proper Access to Public Transport, not move it further away from those who need it most.

Housing – Proper Provision of Affordable Housing for the Needs of Families at Different Stages.  Edward MacManus will push D.C.C. to turn around empty homes far quicker than they currently do, bringing multiple hundreds of boarded up units back into use, which will ultimately benefit all families on the Housing List.
