Melissa Molloy: Conservative Party
HI, I am Melissa, I live locally in Hyde with my husband and two young children. I am a branch manager of a DIY store.
My family use the local amenities like Hyde Park and our town centre and my children attend a local nursery.
I have a real passion to ensure the place I live is protected for future generations and is a thriving and pleasant area.
If I am elected to be your councillor, I would continue with the work I have started in the ward, reporting fly tipping, ensuring pot holes and road maintenance are actioned.
I would arrange regular litter picks and continue to highlight anti-social behaviour across the ward with our local police team.
In addition, I oppose Godley Green Development and a chargeable Clean Air Zone.
Every single vote will count, with your support I can be the voice of change for Hyde Newton.
HUGH RODERICK: Labour and Co-operative Party
I AM delighted to have the opportunity to stand for Newton. I have been active in Hyde for many years.
Setting up and running the new food bank and providing support to Sandwich Angels has shown me the issues that many in Newton are struggling with and how they can be addressed.
I have also been involved in organising community events, such as the Mela in Hyde Park, which have shown the great strength in our community.
I am seeking to represent Newton ward as a councillor, so that I can work with colleagues in Newton and across Hyde and Tameside to tackle the problems and provide the support that allows hard-working families to get on.
Key to this must be developing a regeneration plan for Hyde with businesses and residents to create a town that works for business and for residents, this will be my top priority if elected.
