Coventry - Socialist Party's track record
The work and pressure of the three Socialist Party councillors in Coventry has helped in many of the battles fought by themselves and local people, including:
- Millions of pounds in funding won for Far Gosford St - the oldest shopping street in the city.
- A determined fight for public green open space, that was scheduled to be fenced off by a non-community school.
- Ensuring that tenants in a city centre block secured replacement housing on site and a doubling of their compensation awards.
- Mobilising the local community in Hillfields to fight for disabled tenants who wanted to stay in the area. New specially-adapted homes are now to be built thanks to this effort.
- In the Charterhouse area, winning £65,000 for a new residents' parking scheme.
- Fighting for green space in Henley Green to become a village green rather than be smashed up by developers.
- Attending every picket line in the fight against disgraceful cuts in council workers' pay.
- Fully supporting PCS members fighting for their jobs, pay and conditions as well as the services they provide.
- Supporting postal staff trying to keep a sorting office in Coventry.
- Being the only party on the council to oppose Trident, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
