POSITIVE POLICIES FOR CLIPSTONE

ROAD ADOPTIONS

The Clipstone Labour Party Councillors have been campaigning for the adoption of the roads around Cavendish Park, after many letters and telephone calls we are near victory on this issue, meaning that we can install street waste bins and get the roads swept in the area.

MANSFIELD ROAD

Mansfield Road is now too busy for the Village to cope with. The amount of traffic passing through the Village is making life difficult for residents, cars cannot pull out onto the Main road, pedestrians cannot walk across the road safely and in the Old Village you cannot safely walk on the pavements.

What happened to our By-pass, this was proposed in the 1980’s when there was a lot less traffic on the road. The By-pass would have gone from the roundabout on Crown Farm Way to the other side of the railway bridge in  Old Clipstone.

The Party insists that any further developments in the Village contains plans to break up the traffic flow as to aid residents access Mansfield Road safely.

CLEANER SAFER PAVEMENTS

In 2008 Clipstone's Labour Parish Councillors had 10 dog waste bins installed around the Village. In 2010 the Parish Council ordered 10 more to make the pavements better to walk on, Our Councillors are also pressing the Police to take action against people who block pavements with cars, making people walk on the road to get past these obstructions.

SOME VILLAGE CAMPAIGNS

GARIBALDI SCHOOL

The Clipstone Labour Party is campaigning to get the Conservative/Liberal Government to reverse their decision to abandon the rebuilding of Garibaldi School. This shocking decision just at the moment that the school was to be re-developed is a huge disappointment to the staff and pupils. This decision shows the lack of commitment to our area and to the education of our children by this CONdem Government.
