North Trafford Local Conservatives are based in the northern Metropolitan Borough of Trafford wards of Bucklow-St. Martins, Davyhulme, Flixton, Gorse Hill and Cornbrook, Longford, Lostock and Barton, Old Trafford, Stretford and Humphrey Park and Urmston.
We are keen to ensure that North Trafford is the best it can be and our priorities are:
Fix our roads and pavements
Trafford Labour promised to fix our roads and pavements, but they are worse than ever. Better roads and pavements will encourage more residents to walk and cycle. We will work to fix this.
Improve community safety
Additional police officers have been recruited in Greater Manchester but we are not seeing them in North Trafford. Conservatives will campaign for more CCTV, better lighting and more crime prevention measures.
Green Belt at Carrington
Trafford Labour forced through plans to build on the Green Belt at Carrington. ‘New Carrington’ is identified for 4,300 new homes and 380,000sqm industrial and warehousing space which will see 169ha of Green Belt release. At Council, Conservatives voted against the plan which Labour supported.
Reduce traffic speed in North Trafford
Conservatives are determined to bring in measures that will reduce both speeding and inconsiderate behaviour from drivers to achieve a safer environment for all residents whether pedestrians, cyclists or disabled road users.
Protect Community Assets
Conservatives want to save local community assets such as Flixton House from being sold off to developers. Labour made a decision that could allow an asset such as Flixton House, or indeed any building to be placed into a sales programme.
