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.
