| Julian Bray Prospective Candidate South Stanground Peterborough City Council Local Government Election May 3rd 2018 |
We confirm that concerned local resident and broadcaster Julian Bray is a prospective candidate for the vacant Stanground South Peterborough City Council seat. The Local Government Election is to be held on Thursday May 3rd 2018. He is not affiliated to any political party and not bound by party restrictive dogma.
Julian Bray edits the popular Peterborough Tribune blog home to the very active and independently run Park Farm Neighbourhood Watch.
Julian Bray writes: Having looked at some other candidates sorry efforts at producing an election manifesto specifically for Stanground South, you would have thought they would have credited us voters with at least an ounce of commonsense, and actually listened and understood the local issues and not just swallowed the generic 'one size fits all' party line?
With the meltdown in both Tory and Labour ranks, it became increasingly clear to me and those I love and support, that residents of Stanground South (Cardea and Park Farm) are now really financially suffering along with many others in this divided civic debt ridden City. A mounting debt running seriously out of control under the conservatives.
National political party sponsored candidates are now more 'under the thumb' of both extreme left and right wing political zealots and ideological factions.
A question remaining unanswered by the local Tory candidate. Do we really want to import old style Northern Ireland RUC weaponised police tactics into our ward? Even the PSNI has very publicly distanced itself from legacy RUC activity.
Westminster based political dogma and internal party squabbles, take precedence over tackling important hyper-local issues in their own back yard. Why?
Serious pressing local issues, such as greatly increasing homelessness, ever skyrocketing rents, tenants thrown out as the failed Universal Credit [UC] System is rolled out nationally later this month, and we see vulnerable people increasing lose their rented homes as the UC payments are not being made quickly enough by the DWP [DSS]. Cherished dogs and cats dumped as private and public landlords impose heart-breaking prohibitions on pet ownership.
Or marked down vulnerable claimants, many with disabilities, unfairly sanctioned by ASOS and Capita as crooked and made up falsified personal assessments are seeing motability rented cars abruptly removed and awards slashed.
Stressed parents being targeted by schools demanding parents contribute ever more cash and resources. Other Academy schools accused of channelling public funding away from education in order to pay out £150,000 salary packages for some teachers.
Social disorder erupting, crime prevention lacking, violent knife and gang crime on the increase, illegal minimotos, a lack of local policing as front line budgets cut, now we hear that murderers and rapists left free to roam without restrictions on unconditional police bail even!
Councillors unwilling to hold regular consultations or surgeries (as they are mandated to do) all these factors pushing other pressing local issues moved to the bottom of the pile.
But seemingly all the current crop of local South Stanground councillors worry about is counting out their increased allowances or complaining about dog owners and dogs!
Some have even taken to adding to the mess by spray painting graffiti notices on pavements or putting up endless banal notices on vandalised playgrounds, few children ever use the one in Park Farm as its unpoliced, no supervision or CCTV, and a regular home to winos and drug dealers.. when will they ever learn?
Public funding increasingly channelled away from Stanground and Park Farm into garish ill thought out and planned personal vanity and failing public realm projects. Bridge Street is a rash of chain takeaways and formulaic restaurants.
*Cyclists being fined by enforcement officers 'working on commission' hired through a Wales based security outfit! How daft and brainless is that?
Meanwhile Sure Start centres axed, old folks homes vacated, libraries reduced hours and some closed and even the one functioning civic Key Theatre reduced by the money pit Vivacity outfit to running cinema films, or if any funding left funnelled into local councillors pet legacy projects.
Even the BBC is to give up on Peterborough and vacate their building and the Queensgate Cinema now seems to have been put on hold. Millions poured into the 40 year old pipedream of a lower tier University.
Julian Bray already has a very clear and simple mandate to call out those councillors who are putting themselves and their business interests first. Even Comedian Jason Manford avoided the City Centre and delivered act-as-known at the out of town arena, allegedly to get a laugh, citing the lack of City centre facilities.
We seemingly elect party controlled councillors who even lack basic keyboard skills, have little or know business experience and unable to control and manage the wilder excesses of past and present council officers, some who have arguably wasted millions of public funding on hair-brained schemes, the dead trees (only this week high viz and rusty steel plates along Bourges Boulevard are typical of poor planning and decision making.
Long-term lucrative contracts handed out like 'sweeties' then rapidly cancelled. These excesses all cost money and you end up paying more in council tax.
Deadbeat committee members quick to trouser the self-awarded enhanced allowances but slow to act. Many have been asleep at the wheel. Others who have become too self important to carry out even basic public duties.
All these are factors I will try and distil into an election leaflet but don't expect me to knock on your door, or like some labour activists stuff leaflet through letterbox then 'knock and run' Unlike other candidates in this election, you have my direct telephone number 01733 345581.
I welcome your call and will be 'on the stump' out and about in your locality. You and I already know what is wrong in our wards and it will not be resolved by the major political parties parachuting in candidates or rapidly replacing some who have clearly half a brain, the sad individuals allegedly behind the gross and vulgar anti-Semitic rants that are becoming all to strident, and the increasing cast calling and character assassination that sadly seems to be blighting local and national politics.
It is a sad day when the Leader of H. M. Opposition has to have the front of his modest London house substantially boarded up. Today March 30th 2018 was that day....
