Your LABOUR candidate for Lutterworth Division

DAVID GAIR

I have lived in this Division – in Lutterworth and Claybrooke Magna – for 33 years. My children were educated locally and now both live and work locally. In 8 years as a Town Councillor I have tried to save the allotments and further the Eastern bypass. I opposed the removal of the grant to our Citizens Advice Bureau.

Taking a stand on major changes I am active on the major issues – Magna Park, Lutterworth East and the reorganisation of local health services. We all use Magna Park one way or another, but the massive developments proposed are too much. Even partial development requires infrastructure way beyond anything that exists or is proposed. Lutterworth Labour wants a strategic overview of the whole region so that development goes to appropriate areas with the proper levels of infrastructure,.

Lutterworth East We opposed the building of more housing between the town and Magna Park and supported the development of Lutterworth East. Only Lutterworth East will generate the correct level of social provision, such as primary schools, and secure the Eastern Bypass.

A stronger voice The County Council, which is supposed to take the strategic overview, does nothing under the Conservatives. We desperately need a stronger voice at County Hall if we are to secure the funding share we deserve to improve the quality of life in Lutterworth, Bitteswell, the Claybrookes and Ullesthorpe.
