New Droylsden academy opens it’s doors

Saturday, 25 February 2012




Your local Labour Councillors helped welcome pupils to the new academy in January.

There was a lot of excitement and hope for the future.

We wish the pupils and staff at the Academy all the best for the future we know you will succeed.

As Cllr Jim Middleton said

"This magnificent new school was delivered on time and on budget.

It has the best facilities. It will teach young people in Droylsden for many decades to come, giving them the best chance to learn the skills needed for life"

NEW TOWN CENTRE CAFE OPENS


Confidence is returning to Droylsden as the tram works near completion.

We are told that new business enquiries are on the up.

As Cllr Jim Middleton said "We know how times are hard for retailers on High Streets throughout the UK. This Tory led Government is failing on jobs and growth."

It is important that all Droylsden residents support our Town Centre and the new Cafe Rioba is another great reason to visit.

Metro forced to hand over £450 thousand for Town centre roads and paths


The journey to prepare and build the new Metro line through Droylsden has taken nearly 4 years and at time brought our town to a standstill.

During that time your local Councillors have met regularly with representatives from the Metro. On many occasions helping local people and businesses find solutions.

It is a fact that all the road work and diversions have put an additional burden on our roads. We have pressed the case for additional money to help pay for their repair.

We don’t accept that Droylsden should have to pay for this work, especially as it means roads outside the town centre could have to wait longer for improvements or indeed miss out.

The details need to be finalised but your Councillors have won the case for an extra £450k funding to improve roads and footpaths in and around the town centre.
