Your Saffron Walden Town Council Residents Team
Delivering the best local results for Saffron Walden
- Introducing a 5-year financial plan to fix the Town Council finances. Through wise spending we were able to rebuild the finances in 3 years and so delivered a 2019 council tax precept that was half of the increase of either the district or county council.
- Refurbished community assets, including Bridge End gardens, Anglo American Playing Field sports pitches, Golden Acre Community Centre; and saved the town hall.
- Secured highways improvements to make the town more accessible and new sports pitches at Lime Avenue
- Rejuvenated the Common, with two multi-function paths and a brand new playground
- Pursued a Green Agenda, launching a Plastics Charter, installing 7 drinking water fountains across the town to reduce single-use plastics, and started replacing council equipment with electric
- And we’ve won a string of awards along the way including best market, tourist information and playgrounds, and second best run council in Essex
Thank you for re-electing us in 2019. We are committed to doing much more for residents over the next term.
