Derelict property in the area
Something that's bothered me for some time is the derelict buildings around our village. They attract drug users (in the case of the old pub - cannabis farms TWICE) and are dangerous, as well as unsightly bringing the whole area down.
If elected I'll make an effort to establish where ownership sits and also ask the council to look into the possibility of compulsory purchase and restoration (especially the building the old pub was in as it's a lovely old building behind the front that was changed by the Chinese restaurant and has lots of local history attached. For instance it was the home of the Swallownest Branch of the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Club, ran by my Grandad George Percival)...
No idea what will be involved in all of that, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
