Safer - We Can Cut Crime
- We will maintain funding for an ASBO officer in Babergh
- We will support the police through Safer Neighbourhood Teams.
- We need to provide young people with more things to do in our communities so that they do not resort to crime, anti-social behaviour and vandalism
- In Hadleigh and Sudbury we have local control of CCTV
- We will ensure that Babergh enforces new pub licenses.
Cleaner and Greener
- We want to expand the Community Warden scheme which currently operates in Sudbury, Cornard and Chilton. It combats amongst other things:
- - Litter
- - Dog fouling
- - Fly tipping
We take global warming seriously:
- We want to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel poverty
- We would seek to make further improvements to recycling - recycling at Babergh has already been a great success. When the blue bins were introduced to replace pink bags recycling rates shot up. The brown bin scheme has also been a succes
Healthier
- We will continue to support and extend the Be Active scheme and our Dual Use Sports Centres
- Providing young people with sports facilities keeps them healthier and gives them an alternative to hanging round on street corners!
- We will responsibly manage the restoration or rebuilding of Hadleigh Pool.
- We will continue to support the retention of a health facility with inpatient beds in Sudbury.
Affordable Housing
- We want to maximise the amount of affordable housing in new developments like Chilton
- We will work with parishes to find suitable sites in villages for affordable housing, so that young people can stay in the communities where they grew up.
Transport
- We will continue to campaign for a Western Bypass for Sudbury to relieve the historic town centre of traffic.
- We will fight to retain bus services in the face of cuts by the Conservative controlled County council.
Thriving communities
- We will continue to support villages shops, pubs and Post offices through the business rate relief scheme
Value for Money
- We will work with other authorities to reduce costs to the council tax payer. We are sharing a single Chief Executive with Mid Suffolk and we are integrating the officer teams between the 2 Councils. We are working with other Councils such as Ipswich on Revenues & Benefits.
