In the by-election in Muswell Hill, Lib Dem candidate Gail Engert has put together five key pledges for the voters’ approval on 4th March. Gail Engert is also writing to residents this week to ask them for their views on the key issues that need tackling in the area following the local Lib Dems’ successes over the new bus route trial and the plans to reopen the Muswell Hill police station front counter.

Gail Engert’s pledges cover key environmental measures needed in the area, as well as tackling crime and improving transport:

·FIGHTING CRIME: Work to secure the successful reopening to the public of the Muswell Hill police station front counter

·IMPROVING TRANSPORT: Work to make a success of the trial bus route to Swiss Cottage and get a full service on the route

·ROAD SAFETY: Secure more improvements at the top and bottom of Muswell Hill, and a pedestrian crossing on Priory Road

·CLEAN UP THE AREA: Better street cleaning, more action on graffiti and more recycling

·PARK ROAD POOL: Labour’s privatisation plans mustn’t mean that swimmers or groups who use the rooms suffer

Gail Engert comments:

“The Lib Dem councillors in Muswell Hill have shown the Council how to do things better. These five issues will be my top priorities for Muswell Hill, and I am writing to local residents this week to ask them what they think, and to discuss other local issues that need tackling.”
