My name is Lesley Game and I have had the honour of being your representative for Cliftonville, Kingsgate and Beacon Road for the last eight years.

Full statement

Living locally in Cliftonville with my family I share many of the concerns you may have whether it’s anti-social behaviour and crime; parking; local jobs; access to health services, care for the elderly – I’m on your side and have been fighting to make our community a better place to live and if re-elected will continue to do so.

I work closely with local community groups and have sponsored a programme of tree planting, a zebra crossing on Northdown Road, worked with others to have bus routes reinstated. In Reading Street the speed limit is now 20mph, there is better signage and a No HGV sign and in Botany Road there are now bollards and trees to alleviate some of the parking issues. I have had various speed surveys carried out as I am concerned about the increase in speeding traffic and have grant funded over 12 community projects.

I will continue to work towards making our area a clean, attractive and safe place to live. Continue to fight against anti-social behaviour, work to resolve parking issues. I am determined that our local hospital’s facilities and GP services are easily accessible to all. Care of the elderly has become vital since the removal of the winter fuel allowance, Family Hubs need to be in the right place and easily accessible.
