Pledge 1 of 5
01Scrap the garden waste charge
You already pay for waste collection through council tax — the extra garden waste charge means paying twice. We are fighting to scrap it, especially while household budgets are under pressure.

Pledge 2 of 5
02Tackle crime and anti social behavior
Anti-social behaviour and serious crime have hit too many streets across Hillingdon. Residents in Yeading deserve to feel safe at home and nearby.
We back stronger prevention, visible policing, and local enforcement — including the work to save Hayes Police Station and reopen the Uxbridge front counter.
Pledge 3 of 5
03Repair our roads and pavements
Potholes and broken pavements are a safety and cost issue for drivers and pedestrians. We will push for proper repairs and maintenance in Yeading, not short-term patches.
Pledge 4 of 5
04Act against litter and pavements
Litter and poorly kept pavements let an area down. Despite higher council tax, street cleaning and enforcement have been weakened. We will keep reporting problems and demand tougher action and fair investment in clean, walkable streets.
Pledge 5 of 5
05Protect our community assets
Parks, libraries, youth services and local facilities belong to everyone. We will resist cuts that hollow out neighbourhoods and work to protect and improve what Yeading relies on.
