Newtown News: Vote for me and I will get the rubbish removed ???

21/4/2018

Last night a resident of Porchester Drive Newtown, contacted me to advise me that she had a visit from one of the existing Councillors covering Newtown and when she asked him about the rubbish. Here's the message that I have received of the resident:

"Well done Desmond for highlighting the nastiness we the resident of Newtown have to live in, walk pass and tired of reporting to the council and nothing been done 😡. It so happened that I had a knock on my door yes'day from "Councillor Ziaul Islam"... I to showed him all the rubbish on my road and I named and shamed the residence who have been doing this... He promised he would do something if he got my vote... Told him - he has done nothing before for us before, so my vote is going elsewhere !!!! He wasn't to impressed.... Told him what he is doing is "to little and it's to LATE" !!!!!#"

Furthermore, my video's on Facebook and twitter last night with comments from residents are very powerful as they clearly highlight the issues that many of them are facing. The number of flies and smell are highly concerning and to know that the existing Councillor is using his failure to represent Newtown for the past 12 years as a mechanism to get vote is shocking.

For residents, the rubbish in Lennox Street is with waste management and they have confirmed they will deal with this as soon as possible.

I intend to earn your vote and not blackmail you for it and I'm here for "everyone and not the chosen few".

Newtown News: Where is the Community??

20/4/2018

Visiting Pannel Croft Village is not an unusual event for me. Indeed the existing Councillors have probably between them, been there on less than 10 occasions.

Pannel Croft Village is a good example of our diversity not only being embraced, but, has a clear sense of Community and not spin.

Clearly, today beyond Pannel croft we do ask where is the Community in Newtown. We are aware of the lack of facilities, the lack of hope owing to the condition of the area, which has just been neglected and also where is that all important cohesive plan to rebuild the area on all levels.

I have been on the doorsteps and others will be also. Ask them about their plans and how they intend to sort out issues that affect your daily lives? Ask them where have they been and why are they turning up now? Ask them how do you get access to them? ask them about surgeries? ask them about The drum & Newtown Community Centre? This is just the start, the point is question them about what impacts upon your area and not just that how do they intend to rebuild your community?

Basically, let me justify knocking your door including me and let them earn your vote and no take anything for granted.

This is your time in Newtown and on 3rd May the power is with you and no-one else.

Just ensure you vote for the person that will be there for "everyone and not the chosen few" and that's me Desmond Jaddoo.

19/4/2018

This is an issue that I have been working on for a while now.

I am currently working on a programme to be implemented in Newtown on tackling this issue very shortly.

After the Elections, I will be launching a public consultation in Newtown on this as this is about improving the area for everyone and making the streets of Newtown safer for everyone.

This will be a plan "for everyone and not the chosen few".

Newtown News: Access to services

18/4/2018

It has been made clear to me on the doorsteps of Newtown, that the access to Council Services has been a major problem, wing to telephone access and online access not being of the standard of a face to face service.

Since the closure of Newtown neighbourhood Office to the people of Newtown many are struggling to access local authority services, which was highlighted to me with the fact that some newly let homes and also temporary accommodation units, are still waiting for their wheelie bins, which has exacerbated the rubbish/litter issue plaguing the area.

I will look into ensuring that access is easier for residents and will be seeking for the Council to have mobile community based access points periodically, in order to deal with these issues.

Furthermore, I will arrange to walk all tower/maisonette blocks and the estates generally on a quarterly basis with Waste Management, the Housing Department and the Police as standard along with any other relevant agencies in order to ensure that we keep on top of the issues that are negatively impacting of your daily lives in Newtown and off course you will be more than welcomed to attend also.

All you have to do is to vote for Desmond Jaddoo on Thursday 3rd may 2018, who is here for "everyone and not the chosen few"

Newtown News: The never ending story.

16/4/2018

Having visited every street, maisonette block, multi story block and low rise block in Newtown; the constant complaint from residents is that the area is run down and covered in rubbish that is some cases were causing as horrible stench and in some cases rat infestation.

Residents a have felt isolated as they have had nowhere to turn in order to seek help. Clearly this is unsatisfactory and is just not good enough. Furthermore, the communal walkways have some very dangerous paving slabs which an84 years old lady advised me that she a loose slab almost caused her to fall.

The overgrown trees and their large roots are also damaging communal walkways require urgent attention.

The existing Councillors should have dealt with a lot of these issues, however, here's the big question what have they been doing and why are there so many unaddressed issues in Newtown.

It is clear to me that they are guilty of failing the people of Newtown and it is time for a fresh start. On Thursday 3rd May lets give Newtown a fresh start and clean it up in more ways than just one. Vote for Desmond Jaddoo who is "hear for everyone and not the chosen few".

Newtown News: Finally someone showing interest

15/4/2018

Whilst out yesterday, many residents were surprised to see me not only handing out my own leaflets, but, also the interest that I have in them, their families and also Newtown. One resident said " the area is dirty and not good for our children and it is good to see that you are prepared to work".

This was a common trend for the whole day.

In Great Hampton Row a group of young men asked " how are t=you going to help us, are you going to swamp the area with Police and move us on?" He was shocked when I told him that I would be prepared to work with them in order to assist in the creation of greater opportunities for them to move on with their lives and not become statistics.

Clearly, after years of neglect by Councillors who have failed to do their job, it is clear that Newtown is seeking a fresh start and this can commence on May 3rd with you voting for the only choice for progress "Desmond Jaddoo" who is here for "everyone and not the chosen few" .

Newtown News: Joined up action gets the job done.

13/4/2018

Yesterday morning I was sent a photograph of rubbish which had accumulated outside Hodgson Tower Newtown by a resident.

Following my referral it was promptly cleared by waste management. This clearly joined all of the dots, being the resident was able to contact their would be elected representative who was able to refer the matter, for action and the job got done.

It was a simple case of being able to obtain access.

Following this, the source of the rubbish had been established, however, it does actually raise other questions as to the failure to provide wheelie bins to recently re-commissioned properties for homeless families.

In any case that another job to get done, however, a simple message to the people of Newtown is that a vote for Desmond Jaddoo on 3rd may is a vote that will ensure the tasks in Newtown get done for "everyone and not the chosen few".

Newtown News: "Why are our children being exposed to this?"

13/4/2018

A comment made by a residents of Newtown this morning that was forwarded me the picture of a scene in Markford Walk which has only increased.

He also explained to me the underlying issues surrounding this rubbish mound, which I intend to address also, which should have been addressed by the three local Councillors, which he did not even know their names. So what have they really been doing.

Clearly, this is just a lack of interest and this is a common trend by residents which has only sought to increase voter apathy in Newtown.

The chilling statement by this resident was a simple one "what hope is there for our children" and "why are our children being exposed to this?"

At a time when we are concerned about the future of our young people this is not a good scene for them to have to face daily.

It is my intention to ensure that the future is brighter by addressing these issues.

Please keep the information rolling in "I'm here working for you already and will continue to do so a your Councillor from 3rd May. A vote for me is a vote 4 change and will give Newtown the voice it desperately needs", for "everyone and not the chosen few"

Newtown News: Tower Blocks

12/4/2018

In the past 48 hours, I can confirm that I have visited all 20 Tower Blocks in Newtown owned by Birmingham Housing Department.

Some were ok and some were very well not so ok.

It is clear from my previous experience that despite cosmetic appearances, not much has changed and conditions in some cases should be far better than they are now.

Also the withdrawal of the concierge service has impacted upon residents feeling safe in addition to the increasing anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and using in the communal areas and in fact access to services also. Some residents are advising me that the additional sums for concierge and cleaning are still in their rent but they are not receiving these services.

Well let me make it clear, this will be addressed and your vote for me on Thursday 3rd May will ensure that the Housing Department delivers the required service to you the residents.

These are important issues for you and these flats are your home and you have a right to feel safe, secure and have a decent environment for you, your family and your visitors.

This is a message to "everyone and not the chosen few".
