First Year Complete / Ward Budget

As we prepare for the annual council meeting on 11th May 2016, it marks the fact that all new councillors in South Holland have been elected for a year.

During the past year I’ve been able to help a number of local organisations in my ward and the wider district to the value of £1564.17.  Those that have benefited are: Crowland Show, Abbey 345 Playgroup, Crowland Methodist Chapel, Spalding Marching Ambassadors Band, Crowland in Bloom, Air Cadets, Crowland Community Hub, Spalding High School Netball Team and Improvements to the WWII Memorial at Ayscoughee Gardens.

I look forward to year 2, and the opportunity to help local people and to support local organisations through my ward budget.

Caravans in Crowland

Over the late May bank holiday, 3 caravans arrived on the green of Millfield Gardens in Crowland.  A number of residents complained directly to the council and also to me as one of their ward members.

Issue was brought to the attention of the SHDC housing team, who attended the site with the help of our local PCSO.  Following a discussion, they agreed to move on within a few days and did just that, clearing up after themselves as well.

We will continue to investigate what measures can be taken to prevent them accessing the site again in the future.
