Steven O'Dell - Labour

Personal information:

I have been a Bottisham parish councillor for the past five years and I have helped formulate an anti-social behaviour policy in Bottisham.

Ward surgeries:

I will hold ward surgeries so that every body would have the opportunity to air their case to me personally.

Citizens panels:

A citizens panel will be set up giving the right to everybody to have an influence over what they want to see in their ward.

East Cambs anti-social behaviour policy:

I would like to see a district wide anti-social behaviour policy being set up to create a best practice in tackling this problem that affects us all.

More accessible recycling facilities:

Getting more accessible recycling facility's in the ward so not to have to rely on the once a fortnight collection

More support for local post offices:

A better support structure to halt the only post office from having to close and to encourage new ones to open.

Promote social housing:

To halt the ever increasing number of young people leaving our ward I would try and encourage the district council to allow more affordable homes to be built.

Supporting youth facilities:

In having an anti-social behaviour policy I would get the council to make available information on encouraging existing facility's to make grant applications so investing in better youth facility's.
