Muxton Parish Council
Our campaign for a separate Parish Council for Muxton has been moving forward albeit not as a rapidly as myself and Cllr Nigel Dugmore would have wished. We collected signatures from the summer last year on-wards and a very big thanks for all those residents of Muxton who kindly signed up to our petition. I […]

Read MoreMuxton’s Outdoor Gym
The Muxton Outdoor Gym is a great highlight from mine and Cllr Nigel Dugmore term in office, this was funded by a S106 agreement (money from developers) from the C2/C3 development, which at the time was one of the most disliked and resisted developments in the history of Telford and Wrekin Council, but some good […]

Read MoreRising Debt levels at Telford and Wrekin Council
Debt is a major concern of local residents and the current Labour Administration is borrowing heavily to invest, whilst investing is usually a positive thing, taking on excessive long term debt is not.
