Your views on the police

Very few people seem to have a good word for the police which in my view is grossly unfair. Personally I have been very impressed with Ulverston police.

Now those who have some area that they would like improved have a genuine chance to have their say.

SDLC Cllr Mark Wilson wants to hear your views. There are only a few cllrs that really impress me. Mark Wilson is one and James Airey is another. Both are relatively new in their jobs and possibly for that reason are keen. Mark has been an SLDC Councillor for just over a year and James, a County Councillor for a few months.

Mark Wilson is working hard for those in South Ulverston who are caught in a depressingly run industrial area, by bringing in the local MP , Hutton who should be trying to impress on behalf of a beleagured Labour Government.

The minute James Airey was elected, he took action to make known the sad state of Victoria High School to the people right at the top. I hope to be able to report back on further action he is taking after a meeting with him next week.

Sadly, we in Ulverston haven't been well represented by decisive people in the past at County Level and at District Level the representation for the most part has been pathetic. Jayne Kendall has certainly done plenty but the Cllrs seem to just sit back and not give her much guidance so that there have been some glaring mistakes like the Ulverston Web site which is still abysmal, the design of the County Square which could have been a lot better and the dreadful situation of the useless Stockbridge Car Park at a time when good well signposted parking is essential to the town's future.

As often happens with a tired mind, i have rambled on. the main point is to tell Marl Wilson your views on the Police. I believe this bit of energy won't for once be wasted.
