DR ROWENA HOLLAND CAMPAIGNS TO CLEAN UP WOLLATON'S PAVEMENTS
UPDATE: Whilst out in Wollaton over the weekend we were pleased to hear about the council sending out street sweepers in the area on Thursday and Friday following my article in the Evening Post. I am glad that the council are heeding calls for Wollaton East to be cleaned up, and although this is an exciting first step, I will be continuing to campaign for waste bins to be placed in the area. ....MORE >>

I’ve had a busy few days and community has definitely been the word of the week so far. The campaign to save the Radford Unity Complex is going brilliantly and we continue to pursue the City Council regarding asset transfer of the building for community use. We’ve been campaigning for the Council to transfer the building to the charities working out of there but Jon Collins stated in the recent ‘call in’ meeting that they had no formal policy regarding asset tran....MORE >>
About Rowena
The time is fast approaching when Britain is going to be given a choice: a choice between the consistent failings and deception of a worn out Labour Party or the integrity of a Conservative Government that trusts the British people to control their own lives. Labour believe that they know what’s best for Britain and dictate our lives from Westminster, determining how our schools, police and hospitals should operate using unhelpful and outdated Government targets together with endless paperwork and quangos.
The Conservative Party believes that local people know what their local area needs and that control should be given back from Westminster to our communities. Local Teachers and headmasters should be allowed to decide on the best way to deliver our children’s education and have the power to instil discipline back into their classrooms. Local Doctors should have the freedom to decide what their community’s healthcare needs are and how best to fulfil them. Local Police should be the ones to decide what Nottingham needs to make its streets safer, not faceless bureaucrats in London.
You will have a clear choice at the General Election and I hope that as a resident of Nottingham South, you will choose real and lasting change by voting for me, as your Conservative Candidate, to represent you honestly and with integrity in Parliament. We have the opportunity to bring about a new era of change for this city and for our country and by taking collective responsibility and working to develop the society that we want to live in, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

Speaking to residents in Clifton there has been one issue that has come up again and again: the speed bumps on Farnborough Road and Green Lane. As many local residents will be aware, these speed bumps are in a severe state of disrepair and many residents are worried they are causing damage to vehicles and making the area look rundown and ugly. So I've launched a campaign to get the speed bumps removed or at the very least repaired. The lack of maintenance by Nottingham City Council mean....MORE >>
