Robert McGuin- Almondbury Ward Candidate & Bernard McGuin - Update

Almondbury Ward Cllr Candidate Robert McGuin & Local Campaigner Bernard McGuin say "Thank You" to all 1,145 Local Residents who have signed our petition to stop hundreds of houses being built in Lepton & Fenay Bridge. Please continue to sign & share this with Family & Friends via social media. https://www.change.org/p/save-lepton-fenay-bridge-from-development

We have campaigned for yearshttps://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/1000-huddersfield-residents-unite-block-25254686 with local residents to hold to account Kirklees Council and the developers over significant money that would have been promised to be put into the Lepton & Fenay Bridge area with the strain over hundreds of houses being built. Under the 106 section the scheme should protects green spaces, puts money into our sewage/drainage networks, play areas, our local roads and local schools. 

Afraid Kirklees Council are continuing to ignore Lepton, Fenay Bridge, Lascelles Hall and Almondbury residents on building hundreds of houses. This will have an impact on Rowley Lane School and Lepton C.E. School. Almondbury Community School closed down against local Parents, children and local residents objections. King James is at fully capacity. Yet there will be more children with houses been built/yet to be built and yet there is no plan for school places for new families.

We know in the past the council has a poor record of holding developers to account over 106 section and when they have received this money they have put it into areas like Dewsbury & Batley and not put it into our local area.

We wish TLVPS  all the best as Lepton has been judged for Yorkshire in Bloom. I know the volunteers at TLVPS have done a tremendous job in improving the local community over the years. We wait for the results at the end of September. Here is their link if you want to know more about TLVPShttps://www.facebook.com/TheLeptonVillagePreservationSociety and they are always looking for volunteers to get involved. 

TLVPS is organising a community litter pick on Sunday August 2nd at 10am -11am. Meeting at Rowley Lane School Car Park. All equipment is provided, bags, pickers, hi-vis and feel free to bring your own gloves.

Thanks

Almondnury Ward Candidate Robert McGuin & Bernard McGuin
