Peel: A day in the life of a Labour Councillor

A typical day as a Labour Councillor -By Councillor Joyce Plummer:

10.30 –  Call received from resident regarding untaxed van parked outside of her property (this is an on going problem this resident and other residents have been experiencing).  Called to see resident, vehicle registration checked on DVLA site and found out it is not taxed or SORNED, reported to police and DVLA.

12.30 – Call from Accrington Observer about arson attack on house on Lodge St, comments given.

18.30 – Myself and Councillor Wendy Dwyer visited residents of the property to see if we could be of any assistance, they would like us to notify them of any property to rent in the area as they are too frightened to stay where they are, but would like to stay in the area as relatives live here.

19.00 – Call from resident who is disabled and more or less immobile.  Called around to see her she has been going to Conservative Club Clayton Le Moors by taxi every Saturday. She has made many friends there now goes out on day trips with the club, which has given her a new lease of life, however there are “No Parking” restrictions now outside the club.  Although the taxi company only literally drops her off and picks her up from outside, they are now afraid to stop there at all, plus some members of the club that are stood outside at the time tell her the taxi cannot stop there. Which means she will have to stop going on a Saturday.
Discussed matter with Tim O’Kane and might have found a solution

19.55 – Call received from resident that large van is yet again parked in a dangerous position and causing an obstruction to the entrance to the street for other vehicles. This vehicle is also being driven on the pavement when being parked up. I have been in discussion with the police only last week about the numerous problems this vehicle is causing.  Councillor Dwyer and I intend to call round and try and discuss this problem with the owner.

20.30 – Rang resident in Lodge St and informed him about property to rent in Spencer St, informed him I would find out more details tomorrow and pass them onto him
