Hello! My name is David Simcox, and I am your candidate for councillor for Crewe West Ward.
From Merrills Avenue to Queens Park Drive, Victoria Avenue to Alton Street, Stewart Street, Capesthorn Road to Langley Drive, and all the roads and communities in between – we are all part of Crewe West Ward.
I am committed to working for local residents to tackle issues from underfunding such as potholes, litter, fly-tipping, parking problems, street lighting, and anti-social behaviour to make our area better.
I’ve lived in Crewe all my life, I have always called the West End of Crewe my home. I am deeply committed to our community. I see firsthand the challenges we face, and I believe that together, we can turn things around.
During my time as a Citizens Advice Bureau advisor, I helped people through difficult times, providing benefit checks, debt advice, and court liaison services. This experience taught me the importance of support and advocacy.
My Commitment
- Financial Stability: Our council faces a potential budget deficit of £12.8 million. As a business owner, I understand the importance of spending resources wisely, avoiding waste, and budgeting correctly. Your vote can help prioritise spending where it matters most to you and your family.
- Education Improvement: Several schools in Crewe have been rated “Requires Improvement” by Ofsted. Our children deserve better, and we need to ensure this trend does not affect other schools in Crewe West. I will advocate for better funding and resources to ensure our children receive the quality education they deserve.
- Waste Management: The Labour council’s proposal for three-weekly bin collections is a serious concern. This decision risks increased rat infestations and other health hazards. I will stand up against this impractical proposal and fight for regular waste collections to ensure our community remains clean and safe.
- Housing Developments: Labour’s plan to reduce planning restrictions and increase housing will strain our already stretched services. I have worked tirelessly to make the Coppenhall Place Estate safer and better for all residents, advocating for better management and stricter enforcement of pre-conditions.
