PLEASE VOTE FOR STEVE FLOOD IN SPRITES WARD. THIS IS PART OF THE WIDER CHANTRY DIVISION SO PLEASE ALSO VOTE FOR NADIA CENCI AND NATHAN WILSON IN THE COUNTY ELECTION.

I have lived and worked in this area, in the plumbing business, for over 25 years, and I have a good knowledge of Sprites and the issues many of you want us to prioritise.

You would like crime and anti-social behaviour to be reduced and a stop to the open drug dealing, especially around our schools.

We need our town centre to thrive once more and you would like to feel safe to walk around it at night again.

I will challenge the Labour run Borough Council on their strategy and to ensure that the fiasco of the Town Hall area, wasting Ipswich residents' council tax, does not happen again.

Although there have been some improvements and repairs to our roads and pavements, there is still plenty more to do with potholes and general highway issues.

I realise some of the changes, especially the bigger ones, will take time to implement but I have already started with some of these issues, speaking to residents and working with Tom Hunt.
