Cllr Mike Sammon

Reminder for Cambridge Ward residents

Our drop-in surgery is tomorrow (Friday 20 February) 10am to 11am at Leyland Road Methodist Church.

Please feel free to come along and raise any council related issues with me and Cllr Leo Evans.
No appointment needed.

A public session has been announced on the proposed restoration of the Hesketh Park Conservatory.
Residents are encouraged to attend and find out more. #CambridgeWard

New planters now installed outside Churchill Avenue shops!
It’s something I’ve wanted to do to brighten up the area since even before I was elected.

Funded by ward funds from all Cambridge Ward councillors.
Thanks to the Council and the Natural Alternatives team for sorting. 🙂

I’m pleased to see the 8 new trees now planted on Emmanuel Road, funded from the Cambridge Ward Sefton Council budget and agreed by all three ward councillors.

Today I was out delivering our newspaper in Marshside and had some lovely chats with residents.

If you see me out and about in #CambridgeWard, please do stop for a chat. It’s always great to meet residents. 🙂

I’ve completed this consultation and would encourage residents to do the same.

Alongside national action, practical local steps matter too. Some areas now have safe knife disposal bins to take weapons out of circulation.
This is something I’d like to see in Southport and Sefton.

Lib Dems call for Operation Ironclad to tackle tool theft 244699 Southport councillor and tradesperson backs national plans Councillor Mike Sammon has backed new Liberal Democrat proposals aimed at tackling tool theft and supporting local tradespeople ...

I was very pleased to hear the @libdems.org.uk in London have announced Operation Ironclad. Tool theft is an issue which is personal to me, this new campaign will build on my work locally over the last year on this.

It was a busy January in my role as a councillor. Here’s my monthly update for residents in #CambridgeWard

Had a nice Sunday walk with family and the dog around Hesketh Park today. The fountain looks great freshly painted. 🙂
#CambridgeWard #Southport

I had a walk around Southport Municipal Golf Links today with Cllr Leo Evans and Green Sefton, discussing recent maintenance and on-going work on the course.

As ward councillors we are looking at how we can complement that work in the lead up to this year’s Open in Southport.

Broken paving flags and a missing bollard now replaced after I raised the issue. Getting more done of the small things that matter in my role as a local councillor. #CambridgeWard

Thanks to everyone who mentioned me and to Southport News for raising awareness of the upcoming local elections and the work that councillors do.

Helping residents is always a team effort and I’ll keep doing my best for Cambridge Ward.

They do, I think one year on pothole repairs but I don’t know the exact terms and conditions.

Thanks Owen, shocking that. I will be onto it if this happens and requesting a proper job.

New benches installed outside Hesketh Park in Southport. #CambridgeWard

Some potholes I reported in Cambridge Ward are being filled in today. I only reported them last week. It shows why reporting issues and chasing them up matters.

Tonight I attended the Overview and Scrutiny Regeneration & Skills Committee meeting. This was my first choice committee and I’ve been a member of it since being elected.
These meetings are an important part of holding the Council to account and representing residents’ concerns.

Liberal Democrat run South Cambridgeshire District Council are installing solar panels to charge their electric bin lorries.

Cutting carbon. Boosting biodiversity. Delivering a greener future.

Another of the questions I asked at Council this week was about the missed Christmas bin collections. You can hear my follow up question and the response from the Cabinet Member here. #Southport #CambridgeWard

Thank you 🙂

One of the questions I asked at Council this week was about pavement gritting outside schools.

You can hear my follow-up question and the response from the Cabinet Member in the video.

I will continue to push for pavements outside schools to be gritted as a priority.

Here’s some of what I got up to in December.

I’m aware some bin collections are still outstanding and this will be escalated in the week.

If there’s anything you want me to look at in Cambridge Ward, please get in touch.

Merry Christmas to everyone in Cambridge Ward and Southport

I hope you’re able to have a good one. I know it’s not an easy time for everyone, my thoughts are with anyone struggling.

Thanks to our frontline services,
volunteers, local businesses and staff who look out for others all year round. 🎄🤶

Here’s my November Round-Up For Cambridge Ward

It’s been another busy month alongside my full-time work, I’ve continued challenging decisions at Council and helping residents with day-to-day issues.

No surgery in December, but you can still contact me anytime if you need help.

Calls made to pause OpenReach pole installations in Southport and tighter rules on where they're sited | Stand Up For Southport Calls are being made for tighter restrictions on OpenReach installing any new telegraph poles in Southport.  Southport councillor Mike Sammon wants to see a pause in any work taking place until new ru...

At Council next week I am proposing a motion which will hopefully lead to permitted development rights being removed from telegraph poles in Southport.

It was nice to see this piece on it in Stand Up For Southport
