COME AND SEE US Why not come along and talk to us face to face at

the Surgery that your Barnwood In Touch Team

share with the Abbey Councillors? This is held on

the last Saturday morning of every month at

Abbeydale Community Centre, from 10am -11am.

The local police are usually in attendance too.

Lise and Tarren use Facebook to post

up-to-date snippets of information,

telling you what they are up to. To find

them on Facebook just search “Lise Noakes” or

“Councillor Tarren Randle (Barnwood)”.

We are also planning a new

recycling centre on Eastern

Avenue which would save

people from the east of the

city having to travel to

Hempsted. This would recycle

materials not collected from

the doorstep like wood, metal

and household goods.

Tarren is part of the Gloucester Conservative Team who have already

been responsible for so many changes for the better, locally and in

Gloucester City. Some of our local achievements are listed overleaf and

many more have been detailed in newsletters we’ve delivered to you

recently and on average at least every two months for many years. A

vote for Tarren Randle helps keep Barnwood and Gloucester On The Up.

5 REASONS TO VOTE CONSERVATIVE

Tarren Randle has served you well for the past 4 years as your councillor.

Tarren always puts Barnwood first and has worked tirelessly for local residents.

She will continue to do so if re-elected on May 7th.

Tarren works with the whole Barnwood Conservative Team.

You have a team who are always keen to help and will do their best for you. You

know one of us is always available to follow up issues or answer queries.

Barnwood has improved thanks to the Conservatives being in control

As well as the improvements specific to local areas we have all benefited from

the works to the Walls and C&G roundabouts, secured by Conservatives.

TARREN RANDLE The best choice for Barnwood

Conservatives Pledge Recycling Revolution

You hear from us all year round, not just at elections.

We deliver at least 6 In Touches a year as well as various other colour

Conservative publications, so you are kept fully informed.

Gloucester is on the up with Conservatives running the City Council.

Don’t let’s have a return to the bad old days. A vote for Tarren will help keep the

Conservatives running the City Council with more improvements for Gloucester.

Another manifesto pledge is “We will

upgrade the city’s CCTV system and

install 4G wifi in the city centre at the

same time. We will work with the

Safer Gloucester Partnership, the

CitySafe Manager, the Police,

businesses and residents to bring

crime down.

We know this will be welcomed.

CCTV upgrade

and 4G WiFi

Conservatives have pledged a recycling revolution if they stay in control of the

City Council after the May elections. Recycling rates have risen from 9% to 40%

since the Conservatives have been in charge, but we want to see that figure rise

still further. Changes introduced recently mean that aerosols and tetrapak drinks cartons

can now be recycled from the doorstep. A review is currently underway to

expand the range of materials collected when the vehicle fleet is renewed next

year. For example, doorstep collection of cardboard would be popular.

Tarren & Lise have worked with the police to carry out speed

checks. They hope they have raised awareness in some of the

locations where speeding complaints have been received.

Tarren & Lise have been there every step of the way to ensure

the crossing was installed correctly and that the bus stops

were re positioned. The works have been very frustrating to

residents but Tarren & Lise have worked to get the earliest

possible resolution of any issues.

Action Against Speeding

Clock Tower Adoption

We are as frustrated as local residents that the whole of the Clock

Tower area is still not adopted but the developer has to complete all

the works to the correct standard before the Council takes on the

liability for maintenance, at cost to us all. Your Conservative team

have been pushing for progress here on a regular basis.

We’re pleased to tell you that on 24th February another large area

was adopted as public highway: Crock Mead; Dancers Hill; Kimberland

Way; Micklemead; Stonebrack Piece; part of Carwardine Field; The

Plantation (between Kimberland Way and Crock Mead) and Bodenham

Field (between Kimberland Way and Crock Mead).

Lise & Tarren worked with Gloucestershire Highways to get bollards

installed in the verge to keep sightlines clear and improve safety for

people in cars pulling out onto Eastern Avenue.

Just some of the things

that Tarren and the

Barnwood Conservative

team have delivered

within the past year for

local residents..

WORKING TOGETHER ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER

Action at York Road

Tarren & Lise campaigned for local residents to get further

parking restrictions here to help improve safety and prevent

parking in unsuitable places.

Action on Barnwood Road

Action with Young People

Tarren secured sponsorship for Barnwood United Football Club and

a really successful Fun Day was held at Coney Hill Rugby Club with

local Beaver, Cub and Scout groups.

Action with Dog Owners

We told you about the initiative from Tarren Randle to help

reduce dog mess. She also moved a motion at Council to

encourage responsible dog ownership in Gloucester. Her

motion received the unanimous support of the council.

On 16th March all 4,442 Gloucester City Council social homes

transferred to Gloucester City Homes. This will lead to £110

million additional investment in city homes over the next 30

years; to 100 new social homes available for rent for local

families – the first built in the city for 25 years; will allow

existing homes to be maintained to a decent standard as well

as to central government writing off millions of pounds of

housing debt.

Tarren Randle has been a board member of Gloucester City

Homes and commented “I’m delighted that the hard work has

now paid off as this is a great outcome for our tenant and for

the future of social housing in Gloucester”.

Housing Transfer to

GCH now Complete

Action on Holly House site

Tarren & Lise worked with the 2gether NHS Foundation Trust to

get a barrier installed to help prevent anti social behaviour in the

car park.

Action on Eastern Avenue

Action with developers - thanks to your Conservative Team the developer was

persuaded to cut back overgrowth before adoption, as requested by residents

The neighbour

said “We had a

problem with

rubbish at a

GCH property.

I contacted

Tarren and it

was dealt with

extremely

quickly for

which I am very

grateful.”

Still to adopt is

Ashbed Close;

Bodenham Field

south of Crock Mead;

Carwardine Field

serving houses 8 to

38; Clock Tower

Access Road;

Dingles Meadow;

Stoney Bridge;

Home Ground and

The Plantation south

of Crock Mead. We

will keep pursuing

this until all

adoptions are

complete.
