Sam Dixon is Chester's Labour candidate.
A force of nature. Integral to the fight for Storyhouse, Cestrians will be well represented if they elect her on 1st December.

Not much detail yet, but Labour pledging to...
1. Reform the planning regime to build new homes; and
2. Introduce new protections for renters
... sounds very promising.

Very disappointed we missed out in Chester South and Eddisbury. Sounds like we won on the day but missed out on postal votes. Only 3,000 votes from winning!!!
Commiserations to the Lib Dem and Green candidates on getting 5,400 and 2,200 votes.

Police public service desks are closing across the country, not least in Chester's city centre, which when open (under a Labour PCC...) I depended on from time to time. Important we get it reopened - resident and visitor access to the police must not be hampered.

Hi everyone,

Want to get trees planted in our city? Got the land for it? Get in touch.

Cheshire West and Chester full council meeting tonight. Councillors voted 35-22 FOR putting more money into council house tenant repairs. Long overdue. Tories voted against. Smaller parties and groups all over the place.

It's hard to revive and rebuild when your budget is cut to the bone. Money put to rebuilding the city walls comes from the highways budget. Think about that.
More retail stalls for the market are coming. Give it time, but in the meantime: give it support. Storyhouse, too!

Congrats to new MP Ashley Dalton, the only candidate in West Lancs that lives in West Lancs. She'll do superb service for her fellow residents. Skem 100% needs a railway station. High time central gov and Network Rail pulled its finger out.
Onwards.

No. Not forever.
The next boundary view in c10 years we will push hard to reunify the city as one seat and - failing that - knock more doors in Chester South and Eddisbury.
Chester is waking up to the realisation that because of the new constituency boundary half of the greatest City in the World, will be forever 🔵 and likely the other half will be forever 🔴, literally a divided City, not what the Roman’s would’ve wanted 😂. One question… who is

Good stuff here. We're on the way.
Labour will make renting more secure, fair and affordable.
Our Renters’ Charter will include:
❌ Ban on Section 21 and automatic evictions
✉️ Longer notice periods
📋 National register of landlords
🔨 Right to make alterations + request speedy repairs
🐶 Right to have pets

Disappointing news from the Boundary Commission for Chester.
The rules written to produce these seats are poorly thought out, with communities suffering as a consequence.
If the Privy Council accept these proposals next year, Chester will be a split city at the next election.

Rishi Sunak has just come out in favour of fracking "if it has the support of local communities."
It is absolutely key that Upton residents continue to speak loud and clear about its views against fracking.

The government hasn't been trimming the fat. They've been cutting the muscle. We are a country rendered defenceless in quality and skill at the altar of austerity. It doesn't have to be like this.

Government MPs were given an opportunity to put an end to this nonsense last year, but they chose not to, hand-sitting instead.
This culture of chasing cheap, corner cutting measures to placate voters for the next year may have won the Tories elections before, but it won't now.

Enfranchising young people with ways to get around your city without having to fork out for a car is no bad thing. The Ginger e-scooter scheme is part of that, and we need more like it.
