Greenbank is a great place to live. It is vibrant, close to town and with incredible community spirit but residents are worried about rises in anti-social behaviour and hard drug dealing.

That’s why Cllr Charlotte Holloway – For Drake Ward and Plymouth has created the Love Greenbank initiative to bring the community together, not just to focus on what’s needs improving in the area but what we need to celebrate and encourage too. The Herald has a great write up of the community action taking place in Greenbank around the Love Greenbank project. If you live in the area and want to get involved, please get in touch.

There’s some great groups working hard in this area. The Mutley Greenbank Trust is just one of them – so plenty of ways to get involved locally.

When I was campaigning for Charlotte Holloway last year in the local elections I said to voters that she would be a tireless local campaigner and that is precisely what she has demonstrated every day since being elected. This year, voters in Drake ward go to the polls again and I want to encourage you to back Paul McNamara who is a familiar face in the area and a superb community campaigner.
