FIGHTING FOR FAIRNESS
Under both Tory and Lib Dems at our District Council second home council tax
is discounted while the poorest pay out more. Hundreds of local families
paying more under the bedroom tax. Labour would make a difference by fighting to end the second home discount, and fighting to end the bedroom tax. We
would also do more to help families with the cost of living, including more
credit unions to stop families turning to pay day loan companies.
FIGHTING FOR A FAIRER DEAL FOR HOLT
Our District Council seems to wrongly assume all of Holt is well off. Labour led
the fight against increased parking charges in the town which has been used
as a cash cow to fund the district. While paying in more, Holt seems to miss
out on new opportunities to towns elsewhere. Budgets for facilities like gyms
and swimming pools and leisure facilities ignore the town. We need a fairer
deal for Holt.

IN HOLT
MAY 2015 ELECTION ADDRESS FROM NORTH NORFOLK LABOUR PARTY
YOU HAVE TWO VOTES IN HOLT – MAKE THEM COUNT
On May 7th you have a chance to vote for two new district
councillors in Holt as well as a new MP. Jono Read has a
proven track record of being on your side, and standing up
for the many people of Holt and North Norfolk.
FIGHTING FOR AFFORDABLE HOMES
We do not need more expensive homes in Holt, we need homes that are
affordable for local families. We also need smaller homes for the elderly
wishing to ‘downsize’. A Labour government would legislate to ensure people
who have lived in the local area for 3 years or more would be the priority for
new homes. We will fight for more housing, but it needs to be sympathetic to
our beautiful town too.

A GREENER NORTH NORFOLK
We will put ‘green’ values at the core of our values. We will not allow
fracking in North Norfolk. A Labour government will legislate for a fairer deal
for bus and train users – fares have increased hugely in the past 5 years while
services have been cut. Jono has fought for better timetables for residents on
both our trains and bus services. Better and affordable services will ensure no
one is left isolated, will help low paid workers, and help alleviate pressures on
car parking.

FIGHTING FOR BETTER
AMBULANCE RESPONSE TIMES
We love the NHS and all that it stands for. So
when the government proposed slashing the
local ambulance budget by £50m over the past
5 years, Jono Read took action. This was
unthinkable at the same time as Holt residents
were subjected to long delays for ambulances.
He helped collect over 10,000 signatures
against cuts from support from celebrities and
ambulance workers.
It led to a number of
u-turns, and a
change in leadership.
Jono says: “I want
our council to get
more involved. We
owe it to the wonderful NHS staff to
continue to push for
improvements.”

JONO READ
DENISE BURKE
Jono Read, 26, has lived in Holt
all of his life. He has served as a
town councillor for the past four
years, and he has dedicated his
spare time to campaigning for
the town. He says: “All of the
campaigns I’ve led on have set
the agenda in North Norfolk.
From ambulances to jobs to
phone signal. I’ve a proven track
record fighting for you.
One long-standing councillor is
no longer standing, so this
presents an opportunity. The
district council needs a shakeup. Elect me to get a fairer deal
for Holt.”
In her own words, Denise Burke
says: “If elected I would fight
for better local health and care
services, for affordable homes,
for better education and opportunities for young people, for
proper coastal defences, for
renewable energy and against
fracking. As a former tax
inspector, I would also fight for
fair, effective taxation to tackle
tax evasion and pay for better
public services. Britain is still a
wealthy country and we need
to ensure that all North Norfolk
residents can prosper.”
FIGHTING FOR A BETTER SIGNAL
Jono Read continues to push the phone networks
for better basic phone signal in rural areas here,
and for more 3G and 4G signal in our town. Jono
is proud to have been part of the town council
when it brought superfast broadband to Holt.
This brings the very best for businesses,
education, and for local homes.
ON YOUR SIDE FIGHTING FOR JOBS
TOM SHIRLEY
The local Labour Party were quick to set up
campaigns in support of saving jobs at the
Cromer Crab Factory in 2011, and 2014 with the
Heinz Factory in North Walsham. Jono Read
successfully fought for new jobs at the proposed
Aldi in Holt in 2014. Holt has been referred to as
an ‘employment destination’ for nearby
Sheringham and Cromer, but the jobs have not

We must seek to open up employment land at the

and encourage businesses to Holt. Too many jobs

residents in North Norfolk.
Denise Burke made national headlines on New
Year’s Eve after revealing the great demand on
A&E at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, she
wants to see more services opened up at
Cromer hospital to reduce pressures in Norwich.
Jono has continued to feed back concerns to
representatives of our local surgery the issues
our residents face including concerns over waits
to see GPs, and the need for flexible opening
hours. Nationally Labour has pledged to rebuild
our NHS using a mansion tax to reinstate the
