Dudley’s new advisers pledge to dig their teeth into trouble

The NEW Conservative councilors elected to Dudley Council have pledged to stick their teeth into a range of local issues.
Community activist Adam Davies (Conservative) may have won one of the borough’s biggest victories when he ousted Serena Craigie from Labor at Brierley Hill.
Cllr Davies, who lives in the parish, was thrilled to have secured a council seat and won in a parish that had not gone to the Tories since 1975.
He said: âThe feeling at the gate was so positive, but seeing it actually translate into this outcome is another thing. It was worth the hard work.
After a few hectic months of old-fashioned campaigning, he now can’t wait to get stuck.
In recent weeks, he has already taken over in an attempt to tackle dog poop hotspots in neighborhoods.
Cllr Davies, pictured below, also involved in a project that aims to bring a historic street in Brierley Hill back to life and has led a campaign to tell the story of Delph’s famous Nine Locks by restoring a former stable block to the site historical.
Meanwhile, Kamran Razzaq (pictured below), who first became an advisor to Amblecote after several earlier failed attempts to break into local politics, said he would be busy campaigning for more. better facilities in Brompton Park and trying to get more. benches in parks and bins installed in the neighborhood.
He also plans to continue liaising with the police and the Street Watch team in an attempt to tackle anti-social behavior and added: âWe hope to double street watch with a speed watch program working with it. the local community and PCSOs. We have a lot of them. plans in motion for Amblecote. ”
New Kingswinford North and Wall Heath adviser Shaz Saleem, who was previously the Labor candidate, described his victory as “surreal” and he said of the result: “People came out in volumes. One of the main commitments is to be an active advisor 365 days a year. ”
Cllr Saleem (pictured below), founder of the Saleem Foundation and chairman of the Dudley Private Hire and Taxi Association, was delighted to become a consultant for the first time – just days after claiming to have been the victim of a dirty trick last minute campaign.
He told the News he filed a formal complaint with the Dudley returning officer about an unauthorized election letter sent to residents in the closing days of the local election, as well as reporting it to police because he claims the material made voters feel like he was. standing to represent the Muslim community primarily.
He said he was “extremely scandalized” by this – adding that he believed it was “designed to understand racial hatred towards a Muslim candidate and influence voters.”
But he told the News: “I’m here to represent everyone.”
Other Tory newcomers include James Clinton, who has taken the seat held by compatriot Tory Les Jones since 1999. His father Rob Clinton succeeded at Quarry Bank – winning the seat formerly held by longtime Labor adviser Bryan Cotterill who retired, and Dave Borley took victory at Lye – taking the former seat from Vanessa Wale after she resigned.
Meanwhile, Tory Rebbekah Collins claimed victory at Brockmoor and Pensnett after defeating longtime Labor adviser John Martin, who had held the seat since 2012.
