Charlotte challenges Tory on priorities

In news on January 18, 2010 at 2:08 pm

Labour’s prospective MP for Truro and Falmouth, Charlotte MacKenzie, today challenged the local Tory candidate to make known her real views on local priorities. ConservativeHome today published the top priorities of Tory candidates.

Charlotte MacKenzie said:

“This is a coward’s charter and it is not what Cornwall needs. The Tory candidates who responded to this survey put Cornwall’s priorities last.

“The issues they ranked as least important include affordable housing, better transport, new schools, protecting the countryside from over-development, and tackling climate change. Most people see these as some of their top priorities for Cornwall. I challenge Sarah Newton to confirm whether she replied to this survey, and if so to publish her response.

“Everyone can ask MPs and candidates for their views on climate change through Ed Miliband’s website .

“This is an own goal for local Tories – it is hypocritical to make promises they lack the clout to deliver, even within their own Party.”

Charlotte MacKenzie welcomes transport funding boost for Cornwall

Today’s Labour Government’s funding of £3.85 Million for a transport scheme to support the building of much needed local housing has been welcomed by Charlotte MacKenzie.

Housing Minister John Healey’s green light for Chiverton Cross means that much-needed improvements can go ahead.

Charlotte MacKenzie, Labour’s prospective MP for Truro and Falmouth said:

“This is good news from the Labour Government. It’s putting money into a scheme to invest in our local economy and support much needed new homes.”

Housing Minister John Healey MP said:

“This will create construction jobs, help build the new homes we need and make sure we have the transport in place to support development.

“We are investing to help the country through recession. We are not simply stepping aside to let the recession run its course as the Conservative Governments did in the past.”

Call for consultation on bus services

In Uncategorized on April 7, 2009 at 2:44 pm

Labour’s Charlotte MacKenzie today called on the new Cornwall Council and First Devon and Cornwall Ltd to consult people on changes to bus routes and timetables in Falmouth and Truro.

Charlotte MacKenzie said:

“Reliable local bus services are very important, particularly for the over-60s and young people. I am very concerned about the changes made to the 88 and 88b service between Falmouth/Penryn and Truro, and the impact on people needing a service that stops at Perranwell or travelling to Treliske.

“In addition, it is unclear whether the number 93 bus will continue to stop at Trelissick, enabling people to travel by bus to visit the gardens when new timetables come into operation from 3 May.

“Some changes to Council subsidised routes seem to have been made without public consultation.

“People hoped that the merger of Truronian with First might improve local bus services, not lead to cuts.”

Charlotte MacKenzie has written to Cornwall Council and First about these routes, as well as other bus service issues raised with her by local groups.
