Milton Keunes Council have promised me that they will repaint the white lines on the St John Street zebra crossing and the white triangles on the humps in the High Street, St John Street and elsewhere. I have received many complaints that drivers can’t see the humps in the dark as the white warning triangles have worn away.

Please let the Focus Team know if any street signs need repaired or replaced.

On Thursday there is a local election for a Councillor for this area.  Local elections are about electing someone who will work hard for our town.  Douglas McCall, and the other Liberal Democrat Focus Team Councillors, have a proven track record of getting things done in Newport Pagnell.

 The Liberal Democrats keeps in touch all year round through the popular Focus newsletter.  They have been doing so for over 30 years.

 Labour come a poor third here. It’s a straight choice between the Liberal Democrats, who work hard all    year round, and the Conservatives.

 Please remember to vote for Douglas McCall on Thursday to ensure that you continue to have a hard working local Councillor.  Remember that your vote only counts when it’s in the ballot box.

Your local ward councillors get a small ward budget. We used that money to help support the Brooklands Centre, helped provide goal posts and play areas for young people, supported the Town Clock project and gave money to the three primary schools in the ward for outside play.

I have asked the Council to repaint the white lines on the zebra crossing on St John Street. It is currently looking more like a black horse than zebra.

I have been pleased to get a number of new litter bins in the town, like this one at the Kingfisher play area, and the frequency of emptying of others increased.
