Robert Gordon represensents the people of Goffs Oak & Bury Green

Robert knows the area well, having represented the Police Authority as its lead member in Broxbourne. He also played an important part in the scheme to rebuild St Mary’s School and is a Governor of Cheshunt School.

Robert says, “I look forward to representing local people, working closely with the Goffs Oak Community Association, our MP, Charles Walker and my Borough Council Colleagues. The recession is putting extra pressure on public services and on our families and communities so it is essential that we all pull together to get through these difficult times.

“Gordon Brown has brought Britain to the brink of bankruptcy and June’s elections will be an opportunity not only to re-elect the Conservative County Council but to tell Labour their time is up,” Robert added.


SAFE STREETS ~ DAY & NIGHT

“Helping tackle anti-social behaviour will be my top LOCAL priority”, says Robert Gordon. “Most of our young people are decent and law-abiding”, he stresses, “but the small minority of trouble-makers must be sorted out. Our local Conservative Councils and our neighbourhood Police Officers and PCSOs put a lot of effort into keeping our streets and public places safe, but there is still more to be done. Local people have told me this is their top concern.

“Under-age drinking is clearly part of the problem and I will be pressing our Trading Standards people to re-double their efforts to deal with any traders who flout the law”, Robert added.


CHARLES IS BACKING ROBERT

Charles Walker, MP, gives his full backing to Robert as his own county councillor. As a resident of Goffs Oak himself, Charles knows how important it is that we should have a strong voice at County Hall. Charles says “I have got to know Robert very well and am delighted that he is standing in Goffs Oak and Bury Green. He will be a hard-working and effective councillor and will be a great help to me in dealing with some of the issues faced by our communities. The fact that he is Leader of the Council is just an added bonus.”
