Saadia Davis, the Conservative Candidate for Allestree Ward in the forthcoming By-Election to be held on Thursday October the 1st, has made five key pledges to residents.

1. Working to achieve a long-term solution to the University parking problems.

2. Continuing to improve facilities for young people in Allestree.

3. Supporting the ongoing partnership work with the Police to address anti-social behaviour and public safety issues in the ward.

4. Continuing to oppose planning applications which will harm the special residential nature of the area - especially unsuitable back garden developments.

5. Working to improve facilities and access to services for older people in the ward by making sure that needs are consulted on and met.

Saadia Davis lives and works in Allestree. By voting for her on Thursday 1st October the people of Allestree can help ensure that all three of their local ward Councillors remain Conservative.

She said, "It would be a privilege to represent local people as a Councillor. I am asking for their support to enable me to join the two current Conservative Councillors and work hard for all the residents of Allestree."

Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm.
