Dear Richard Watts, Daniel Hulls and Catherine West,

This is the first time that I have contacted my local Councillor even though I am 27 years of age and have lived in the area for four years.

This is my attempt to understand fully the role that politics and my local representatives play in the development and infrastructure of my area

As a young female professional who works late in Central London I often arrive home in the dark weaving my way through the back streets behind Finsbury Park. At present there is low lighting on the streets and many dark alleyways which creates a tense walk home. Further lighting developments around this area would be very beneficial.

In addition, I have enjoyed playing netball since moving here from Scotland but my last two venues have closed down due to redevelopments which has caused me to move further away from my home in order to keep playing. Will there be any new investment into sports facilities, particularly netball courts/clubs, in the near future?

Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

Yours sincerely,

Gemma Parkinson
