We need to be working hard for the people of Newark

June 11, 2009 at 10:03 am (Uncategorized)

Laurence Goff The Independent Voice For Newark Candidate has been elected for the Bridge ward on Thursday 17th September 2009. Many thanks for you support.

A truly independent person like me can think and fight for the local people in the Bridge ward on Newark Town  Council. Being a truly independent candidate without any political agenda, I strongly believe that is the right thing to do. Make a positive contribution to the good people of Newark and for Bridge ward.


Getting involved in politics will be good for our community if we can find more people to come forward as candidates in the next set of elections to be held on the 5th May 2011. Politics is about trying to make a difference to the way things work. There are many ways to get involved in politics, whether you are interested in campaigning on single issues, affiliating yourself with a particular political party or involving yourself in the local community.

A natural route into local politics for many like me was to join a political party after 40 years I have left the old party joining at 19. We all need a change for the better  which is healthy and good,  I am still on the left side  of the fence truly Independent for future elections. You align yourself with people of similar values and can get more opportunities to debate, campaign, influence the political agenda and mix with people in the political world.  The last decade or so has witnessed the emergence of a whole host of single issue groups on everything from the environment to the rights of car owners. The best way of finding people that shares your views is to look on the internet. Many groups regularly run campaigns and often contact you..

You may simply wish to make a practical difference at a local issues, getting involved with one of the several residents’ associations in the constituency which address community issues and campaign for local people in and around Newark

Not everybody wants to join organisations or attend meetings, but there are still options open to those who wish to get involved. You can attend local political lectures and seminars. You may wish to start your own blog,  www.wordpress.com posting articles on political websites or sign online petitions. And, of course.The internet is also providing a new arena for political debate, and you  can always write directly to your local paper with your thoughts! If you are passionate about politics come and join me, you are most welcome.

Laurence Goff age 59

I believes in being an active  Councillor for the good of Newark, dealing with the individual needs, and also providing a voice for the people all year round.

I will be calling to many home in the next few weeks, if you would like a visit or a phone call please ring me 01636-681878 email

laurencegoff@yahoo.co.uk


Some of my interest are safe guarding  Newark Cemetery many problems at many have included vandalism. I am a member and Vice Chairman Friends of Newark Cemetery we need to safe guard our Cemetery together. For 12 years I have been caring for the elderly people in Newark.                                       A member Newark  St John Ambulance giving my support with first aider duties around the town for 11 years.   I have raised funds for the homeless charity Framework for the last few years.

LET’S ALL CYCLE TO WORK AND SCHOOL, WHICH IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH
I cycled around Newark area, for 11 years. I will use my bike to visit many of you. Cycling is fun, green and healthy.

There are over 38 million empty seats on the UK’s roads every day. Why not ‘make the most of it’ by sharing lifts? There are over 38 million empty seats on the UK’s roads every day. Why not ‘make the most of it’ by sharing a lifts? 50% of commuters say they would be willing to share a car if they could find someone suitable to travel with. Commuters should be nice to bike riders.

The days are starting to get longer and the weather is getting warmer. There’s nothing better than passing these cars when the traffic is bad on Newark Road. More cycle track trails are needed in Newark, is a life line to people that cycle.

Cars have been racing racing around for years. Residents have voiced their concerns to me. No journey is urgent. Pedestrians’ Nightmare! Speeding has to be the No1 most dangerous activity you can embark on.

I believes passionately that, this country needs  more Independent MP’s and Council  for the good of our community,  this  includes and represents all the people.

I will be actively involved and committed to representing you wholeheartedly throughout the next few years together.

Some people against hunting.
 
THE South Notts Hunt turned out in force in Newark on the 1st January 2009. Nottinghamshire The region around Newark is rich in history. I still believe personal Drag Hunting is not acceptable…I am sorry to say the 1st January 2009 was a working day for me and I attended my single handed peaceful protest once again. I went to work in the afternoon know I did the right thing.
 

   

 

Most members of the House of Commons. In 2002, 362 MPs voted to change the Hunting Bill in order to ban fox hunting.    

The Campaign for the Protection of Hunted Animals (CPHA). Three animal welfare groups joined together to form the CPHA. They are: The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Animals (RSPCA), the League against Cruel Sports and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

Let’s phone a family or neighbour, check to see if an elderly is OK over Xmas

June 11, 2009 at 1:55 am (Blogroll, newark news, party matters)

We should make an effort to help those less fortunate than we are – many people who will have nothing with which to celebrate each day.
Many will provides support and material help to people in crisis all year round from the Churches across the UK give their support.
Volunteers will give lunch and food baskets to less fortunate other the year ahead. Let’s give an opportunity to provide a smile to all and everyone.

This new opportunity for our community to come together and reflect and give out our great community spirit to one and all alike. More people now live alone than ever before let’s give a helping hand. It is time to listen to the elderly or children crying out, who are living alone.
One more thing let’s phone a family or neighbour over this new year, check to see if an elderly friend living alone is ok.
More people now live alone than ever before.

Hopefully, that memory of this  message will be etched in each one of our us. Let’s reminds you not to drink and drive.  Celebrating for one and all every day.
