‘All I want is for it to be safe where I live, and for there to be a sense of community and some funding for grassroots projects and youth clubs, but also things for pensioners to do and all sorts, but what I do not want is there to be a brand new leisure centre that no one can afford to go to or just the same Starbucks or multiple Tesco and Sainsbury locals. It removes the culture out of the area. Everything.’
