Statement to voters

I recently received an email from a local resident living in an Aspire home, expressing significant difficulties in making the changes needed to ensure they can, as Aspire promotes, “Thrive” in their home. I reached out to Aspire's CEO to raise these concerns, but unfortunately, my correspondence appears to have been ignored. This lack of response speaks volumes about how Aspire is treating its tenants. This is not an isolated incident—this email is one of several I have received. While I am sure many Aspire tenants are satisfied, even one unhappy tenant is one too many. As some of you may know, a new development is underway in Newcastle town center, with the homes being designated as Aspire properties. This raises serious concerns for me, given the apparent struggles Aspire is having with its existing housing stock. These concerns have motivated me to take action to stand in the upcoming by-election in Town on the 23rd of January. I know it will be a challenging campaign, but I am determined to rally the community and work towards Newcastle-under-Lyme electing its first Reform UK Councillor. If you share my vision for restoring common sense to local politics, I invite you to join us. Please email me at chair.nul@reformuk.com, and together, we can begin to make a real difference for our community.
