Well, six months on, thank you for your support. Being your Councillor and working hard for the Ward has been a real privilege. I hope that on the 2nd May, you will vote for me and PAB once again. Just a reminder you have up to two votes as, unusually, we are electing a full Council this time. It is just me standing for PAB and to be clear you don’t have to use your second vote, your vote for…
Well, here we are, sorry for the delay in putting this blog out. Over the last few weeks I have spent a lot of time in meetings, mostly concerned with Planning Reviews and Prestbury’s Idsall Drive Car Park. Just a note before I start though – PAB has been getting a lot of stick in the initial Election leaflets from the Green Party. Some of which appears to be based on outdated information and some on unclear facts. PAB members…
PAB members and local residents attended the Cheltenham Borough Council (CBC) Offices yesterday (18 March) to follow the debate concerning the petition to ask CBC to reconsider the sale of the car park. Despite vigorous contributions from PAB Councillor Stan Smith and colleague opposition Councillors, the motion to review was heavily defeated by the Liberal Democrat majority. We were surprised to hear during the meeting that the sale had ALREADY been agreed and in fact contracts have been signed, despite…
18-March-24 Update from the PAB Councillor Stan Smith After feedback from a local resident about the encroachment of bushes between Laxton Meadows & Shaw Green Lane causing pedestrians to walk on the road, Councillor Stan Smith raised the issue with the Highways department. However, there has been a delay to resolving the problem. After further intervention from Stan, Gloucestershire highways have added this activity to their emergency plan [reference: 11452593] On Albert Road near the junction with Pittville Lawn there…
Well, the last news blog for 2023. It feels like a short time since that day in October, it has just flown by so it is time for me to tell you what has been going on in December. Well, one or two things in the book for this month; I have been in touch with the police about speeding in Prestbury, highlighted by two of our residents waiting to cross Southam Road (B4632) at the cross roads with Mill…
It’s been over a month since the Prestbury by-election and both Prestbury Councillors have been busy looking after the interests of the Ward. So thank you for your support, I will be aiming to get this BLOG out once a month to give you information about what is going on in the ward and town so that you are all kept in the loop. So far I have arranged for the St. Mary’s churchgoers to use the Prestbury library car…

Three reasons to choose PAB in the Prestbury by-election: 1. Representing residences & families of Prestbury for 47 years 2. The PAB Group has held fast to its underlying belief that National politics have no place in local government 3. PAB the voice of Prestbury. PLEASE VOTE for Stan Smith to be our new PAB Councillor, continuing to put Prestbury first.
