 The Prime Minister yesterday published a plan for Building Britain’s Future. It
is a radical vision for a fairer, stronger and more prosperous
society. Public service entitlements will for the first time be
guaranteed to parents, patients and communities. New measures will also drive economic growth and create jobs.
Jim Cunningham MP said, "People in Coventry want to know what the plan is for the Britain
that lies ahead. We need to think of ways to involve communities in
the fight against crime, further improve patient and parent power,
fight unemployment and get our economy best placed for the new
industries that are round the corner.
"What
I particularly support is guaranteeing what parents, patients and
communities should get from their public services. This is about giving
people more power and choice. Today's plan sets out the way forward.
I'll be contacting people in Coventry to get their views on what we need here."

 The Labour Government yesterday launched its Consumer White Paper: A Better Deal for Consumers, which sets out the real help the Government are providing now to people facing difficulties with debt and their finances. It also includes longer term measures to boost consumer confidence - including the creation of a Consumer Advocate to champion consumer interests with new powers to protect consumers.
Minister for Consumer Affairs Kevin Brennan MP said, "Today we are setting out our strategy to give people the protection they need to shop with confidence in the marketplace, through the economic downturn and beyond.
“We’re announcing a package of measures including a new self-help toolkit for those in difficulty with their debts alongside measures to protect people from unscrupulous debt-collection agencies, the creation of a new Consumer Advocate with new powers to demand redress for consumers and a review into credit cards, credit repayments and high cost credit, a ban on unsolicited credit card cheques and a new focus on tackling e-crime, as people increasingly turn to the internet to do their shopping.”

Coventry North East

 Bob Ainsworth, MP for Coventry North East, has joined forces with Mr Eddie Evans, the man who is driving Coventry Council to distraction over the Ansty Road Red Route.
Eddie believes the road is dangerous, that the speed of the traffic has significantly increased and there is no safe way to manoeuvre into or out of the badly designed parking bays. He has refused to let the issue go and is angry that he never gets a substantive response to the issues he raises. In the meantime, the Council has pushed ahead and given the Red Route permanent status.
Bob said, “I think he has a real point. There were never hold-ups on this section of road so the £3million spend was not necessary. However, it is now dangerous as those trying to park are in a pressurised situation on a very fast road.
"The Council, having created the problem, must now do something to slow the traffic speed down. They must also redesign the parking bays and increase the amount of parking.
"Within the last six weeks there have been three serious accidents on Ansty Road, the latest resulting in a lengthy, temporary closure of the road in one direction.”
Bob is writing to the new Chief Executive of Coventry City Council on the issue. We'll keep you updated!
