Labour Delivers in Brookvale
Play Areas
A refurbished play area is proposed for Fletcher Close, with £49,000 from
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and £11,357 from developer
contributions.
Pathway Improvements
Culver Road and Cordale Road (£55,000)
as part of a rolling program to make our streets safer.
Additional Street Lighting
Padwick Close, Fletcher Close, and Culver
Road, with over £35,000 highlighted. We know that
better lighting reduces fear of crime.
Improving Brookvale Village Hall
Your Labour-led Borough Council provided £22,500 towards the cost of
upgrading the car park and providing disabled access to Brookvale Village
Hall, contrary to anything you may have heard from the Lib Dems.
Purge on Abandoned Cars
The number of abandoned cars has been on the increase in Brookvale. If you
spot a car which you think is abandoned then call the Borough Council on
01256 845474 and give the following details (or as much of them as you
can): registration number, make and model, colour, location, and date on
tax disc.
Labour Pensions Credit
More than 2 million pensioners started
to receive the new Pension Credit from October 2003.
It guarantees everyone aged 60 and over an income of at least
£10.2.10 a week, or £155.80 for couples.
A helpline has been set up to help pensioners claim what is theirs. Call
0800 99 1234 and pick it up, it's yours.
"With all
Labour's pension reforms, the poorest third of pensioner households
will be £1600 a year better off."

The
Liberals would replace Council Tax with a "Son of Poll Tax"
Local Income Tax on every individual. Not on property, but on people.
People on low incomes and with low property values will pay more through
Income Tax than they pay through Council Tax. Currently people pay about
£1000 a year Council tax. Under the Liberal proposals people would pay a
lot more, 3p in the pound or £1700 a year.

Labour's Drive to fight Child Poverty
Labour is investing in universal
nursery places for all 3 year olds, and has raised Child Benefit to
£16.50 a week per child. The Working Families Tax Credit is helping
nearly 1.3 million families and is worth an average £40 a week more than
the old Family Credit.
The Tories plan to slash funding to education. They will subsidise people
to send their children to private schools, alongside reducing the number
of people who go to University by 100,000. This would close over 25
universities.
Local colleges would also suffer as they would see funding cut and the
number of students cut.
