John Bradley (Green)
I HAVE lived in Tameside for most of my life and have always worked locally, within retail, transport and travel.
I decided to stand again as candidate for Denton North East to ensure the option to vote for a local, Green candidate. If you want Green, vote Green!
I am frequently seen litter picking along with my children. The Green Party prioritises striving for a cleaner, greener and healthier place to live.
I appreciate the need to encourage safe alternatives to car travel by encouraging those who can, to walk, cycle and to travel using affordable, reliable public transport.
I support local campaigns to save Tameside’s countryside and oppose plans to replace fields with Tarmac, increasing the risk of flooding.
Bulldozing the Green Belt when levels of rainfall are increasing is a strategy for disaster.
Our Green Belt and other green spaces are essential for the health and wellbeing of people too.
Vincent Ricci (Labour)
I AM delighted to have been re-selected to be your Labour candidate in the local elections on May 2.
I am honoured to have served Denton North East Ward since 1998.
With my colleagues, we run a monthly luncheon club on the last Thursday of every month at the Festival Hall, as well as a Christmas party for more than 200 residents and a three-day party in the park at Victoria Park.
We also do fundraisers throughout the year. A recent one was for Defibrillators for Denton.
There’s also Christmas markets on the Civic Square.
I work closely with our neighbourhood policing team to keep residents safe from crime and our streets free from anti-social behaviour.
As chair of the enforcement coordination panel, I am pleased to report in 2023, 178 prosecutions were issued for fly tipping.
I am married to Julie, my wife of 37 years and if re-elected, I will be a strong voice for residents in Denton North East, as I have been for 26 years.
I hope I can count on your support.
