Councillor Dowding

Earlier this year, Indigo class wrote persuasive letters to encourage the council to do more to support safe cycling in the local area. As a keen cyclist, Councillor Dowding was incredibly supportive and listened and responded to the many points that the children raised in their letters. After coming in to speak to the class about their work, Councillor Dowding contacted the Cabinet Member for Transport to see what could be done. Today Councillor Dowding returned to Willow Lane and Indigo class were excited to hear that many of the issues they raised are being investigated and acted upon as a response to their brilliant persuasive writing skills.
