Keeping Residents In Touch

The role of District Councillor has changed dramatically since the year 2000. Government policy and public awareness has meant that Councillors need to be more accountable than ever before to their electorate. Technology has also moved on and in Heyhouses your Conservative Councillors are at the forefront of adopting e-mail alerts, Blogs and Newsletters such as the Heyhouses Harrier to keep you up to date. Our monthly mobile Ward surgeries are also a vital face to face opportunity for residents to keep in touch with us. Finally the Heyhouses Branch committee, made up of volunteers, plays a vital supporting role in campaigning and fund raising. If you would like to play a more active role in your area and would like to become part of the team, then please get in touch. We hope you enjoy the Blog.

Conservatives Retain all Three seats in Heyhouses

Polling Day 2007 is over, Conservative candidates in Heyhouses have been successful in retaining their seats despite a push from Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The results were as follows:

John Coombes 821 votes ELECTED

Keith Hyde 792 votes ELECTED

Craig Halewood 699 votes ELECTED

Anne Smith (Lib Dem) 643

David Meldrum (Labour) 332

Total Ward Electorate 3664
Ballot papers returned 1413
Turnout 38.56%

Conservatives retained control of Fylde Council with a total of 27 out of the 51 seats.

May I take this opportunity on behalf of Keith, Craig and Myself to thank all those residents that supported us on Thursday and just say that the team will now continue to work hard for the ward during the coming term to ensure that we keep on improving the quality of life for all residents.

On a secondary note, a number of issues have been raised during the campaign and the team are now sifting through them all to ensure that we get urgent action. The monthly ward surgeries will start up again now and the Police PACT meetings will continue on the first Wednesday of each month, 7pm at Hope Street Pavilion.
