R4U’s Paul Gadd, council leader at Saffron Walden Town Council, said “We and the excellent staff at Saffron Walden Town Council have worked very hard for our town over the last 4 years, and achieved a huge amount. We’d like to thank residents for recognising the work that we have done. Our councillors are thrilled and honoured to serve them for another 4 years.”

Paul Gadd continued “We have a strong mandate to move forward with our progressive policies and continue our programme for the town. Importantly R4U has now also been elected to lead Uttlesford District Council. This should allow the Town Council to make more rapid progress on issues such as our neighbourhood plan, the failure over the last 12 years of the previous UDC administration to require housing developers to pay properly for necessary infrastructure, and dealing with parking issues.”

R4U’s Paul Gadd concluded “We also have been implementing a strong green agenda for the last 18 months because residents have told us it is important to them. We’re excited to have the Greens’ Trilby Roberts join as a councillor to help us drive those issues further.”
