Your local Conservative team in
Leiston Ward
Leiston and the area it serves needs greater choice in food
shopping. We will work to encourage a store like Aldi or Lidl
to open in the centre of the town and ensure its car park can
be shared with cinema-goers each evening.
More affordable homes are needed for the sons and
daughters of local people and, given our ageing
population, more smaller units for senior citizens
are necessary. We will press for these as
requirements within new housing developments.
We support the efforts of the police to keep
Leiston, Theberton and Middleton safe places to
live, work and shop and be an area in which we
can all take pride. Speeding motorists and
parking enforcement need to be tackled in a
determined way and large lorries coming
through, rather than round, Leiston must be
stopped.
