Change

  • Introduce an Online Housing Forum including tips for first time house-hunters, financial information and a section where students could recommend reliable landlords and good houses
  • Increase reliability and student satisfaction of public transport. For example, requesting double deckers on weekday mornings from Derby Road to University Park and improving the consistency of transport to/from Sutton Bonington, Jubilee and Derby
  • Lobby the Council to make OUR voices heard! I’ll work to remove unfair parking permit charges and to have greater transparency regarding ‘bin fines’
  • Make Station Road safer for all students at Sutton Bonington and for local residents
