“Schools results improving. Maximum waiting times falling. More police officers than ever. A lot done but we know we have a lot more to do. We will work hard to improve the quality of life in Mapperley ward." Vote Labour because ... - Emma, Mike & Mo all live in the new Mapperley ward; all have experience as City Councillors; - Labour keeps you informed between elections using direct mail shots, holding public meetings, meeting residents groups, publishing newsletters and holding surgeries & streets stalls; - The Tories haven’t learnt from the years of Thatcherism and they still want to cut public services – fewer teachers, fewer nurses and fewer police. The Liberal Democrats are not campaigning in Mapperley ward and a vote for them would only let the Tories back in -- For a modern Nottingham – Cleaner, Greener, Safer and Fairer --
