Voice for You
The Liberal Democrats are now the largest political party in South Staffordshire. This means they are able to hold the Conservative council to account. For years the Conservatives have been complacent because there has been no real opposition. With the Lib Dems now knocking down the blue wall in Staffordshire residents are demanding more from our local council.
Infrastructure and Investment
Over the next 5 years, the District Council intends to build upwards of 1120 new homes in Penkridge, and another 168 North east of Acton Trussell. Unfortunately this will likely go ahead without any intervention.
Sam remains passionate that any local plan put before him must come with significant levels of investment in our local services and infrastructure.

Rejuvenate the Hailing Dean
The Hailing Dean Centre is a fantastic, beautiful asset for the people of Penkridge. Sam believes that this asset can work harder for the benefit of the community.
Sam will explore more commercial options for the centre, including looking toward a potential new renovation, fully funded by the centres commercial operations.
It is Sam's plan to turn the centre from a loss to a profit in 5 years. This would mean that funds spent on the centre could be re-directed to other projects around the village or the precept lowered.
