Only 5.34 per cent of eligible voters turned up to poll stations in Ashton for the by-election back in December 2022
“No point complaining if you don’t do anything about it”. That is what one passionate resident said after learning that his town had one of the lowest ever turnouts at the by-election in December 2022.
As May's council elections near, people out and about in the Greater Manchester town - which borders Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire, had lots to say about local democracy - and the things that would improve life in the area. “I will be voting again this time,” he said. “Lots of people have lost their lives to give me the chance to vote and I’ll always take that opportunity.
“People should exercise their right to vote. It is about getting out there and even if they don’t agree with any party, spoil a card, it’s about making your feelings known.” This would include the introduction of greenery and lights along Garswood Street and Gerard Street. Other improvements include infrastructure upgrades to Old Road and Wigan Road which aim to reduce traffic movements in the residential area through a series of active neighbourhood measures, crossing facility upgrades and connection improvements.
Gill and Annette believed that youth clubs, skate parks, or anything to get kids off their phones and computers is necessary for the area. They both agreed that getting kids more active could benefit health and social issues.
