UKIP's Peter Burkinshaw on the May 3 city council elections
Seven major issues for party outlined
My main policy issues are:
1. Controlling the illegal cycling on pedestrian footpaths, riding without lights at night and ignoring traffic signals.
2. Scrapping the 20mph limits and setting back to 30.
3. Scrapping bus lanes in places where they severely impede other traffic.
4. Converting some pedestrian-controlled crossings to zebra – several waste both pedestrians’ and vehicles’ time.
5. Restoring the Frank’s Lane bus stop to its previous layout instead of obstructing all other traffic and pedestrians.
6. Removing artificial road obstructions.
7. Repairing badly damaged road surfaces in places caused by bouncing over speed humps.
This year’s elections
Local elections take place on Thursday May 3 for 15 of the 42 seats on Cambridge City Council.
This represents one per ward, plus an additional councillor in East Chesterton following a resignation.
We asked the leaders of the parties contesting the elections why voters should consider them. Labour has eight candidates standing for re-election, while the Lib Dems have one.
Elections are also being held in South Cambridgeshire District Council and for parish councils in our area. There are no elections to the county council this year.
