Milton by-election candidate Billy MacAllister has pledged to make sure
that he, or one of his campaign team, will visit every home in the
Milton council ward. This is part of a community survey initiative
where every voter will have the opportunity to have their say on the
issue in their area that matter most to them.
Of the community survey Billy said:
"I have been campaigning in Maryhill for the last 20 years, 10 of them
in Milton. I have a track record of helping the people of Milton and
consider myself to be pretty clued up on the issues effecting peoples
lives there. However it is important that everyone gets their view on
what matters most to them within the ward.
"My community survey has only recently been launched and already there
have been hundreds of responses. The final total will almost certainly
be in the thousands and that’s an overwhelming response. It is clear
that the voters have not been listened to for some time and are
desperate to have their say. I will not only listen to them but also
more importantly act to improve their lives."
Of the community surveys completed and returned so far Billy said:
"I will release the full survey findings later in the campaign but
already the issues of policing, crime and anti social behaviour, fear
of gangs, housing and a lack of leisure facilities are being raised
time and again as serious matters concerning the local community. The
initial findings are truly alarming and urgent action is needed
immediately. I am already taking action on the issues raised by many
people but I will be able to do much, much more for the community when
elected."
