Derby – A World Class City
Why under 14 years of Conservatives and in a Labour led council is Derby (South) not as prosperous as it should be? I have always felt that Derby (South) has so much more to offer, yet is seems to be held back. Why?
Derby is often seen as a Secondary city but it should be a Globally known World class primary city. We need this City to be heard, ‘Placed on the map’, where everyone is reminded who and where we are.
Derby is world renowned for its Engineering, we need more investment and productivity in this field. Alongside we need diversification of Industry, such as a Music, Film & Television, Private Space Travel & Exploration, better ways of Travel and Distribution, an eSporting / Sporting & Coaching centre of Excellence, Startup hubs for new and exciting Technology etc.
Derby was once World renowned for leading the Industrial Revolution with our Silk Mills. We can be a World leading City again.
With this, it gives us more employment opportunities, it helps our local small businesses prosper, a better living standard, more wages, more disposable income, improved services, tourism and so much more.
- Our community within Derby (South) needs:
- Investment & improvement in so many different areas, such as Education, Health, Social care, Infrastructure etc.
- Safer Communities where crime is dealt with properly and not just accepted.
- More housing opportunities, whether its rental or to buy.
- A clean healthier environment.
- Hope, Security and Opportunity.
- To do things differently; not the same old models or methods that keep failing us.
- There is so much more to the short list above.
- I have a vision for Derby (South) to be Prosperous by:
- Creating Wealth for the people of Derby (South).
- Making Derby (South) a great place to live in, with friendly safer communities.
