North East Shropshire Labour Party
2021 May Elections - We are delighted to announce Labour Candidates in Market Drayton East - Warren Love and Market Drayton West - Rob Bentley. Both are also standing for the Town Council, where Alan Cartwright will be defending the seat in Market Drayton South as whose representative he has already done so much for the town.
A statement from ALAN CARTWRIGHT,
Labour candidate for the Market Drayton Town Council South Ward
I was elected a Market Drayton Town Council representative of South Ward in April 2019 after success in a by-election.
Since then I have worked alongside other councillors and on my own initiative in helping the town respond to the problems it has faced and is facing. These include:
I have also been actively involved in the establishment of Rotary in Market Drayton, which has a formed a strong bond with the Foodbank and forged social links with Market Drayton residents living in isolation.
A vote for me, Alan Cartwright, in May’s Town Council election would enable me to continue the above work and further contribute to safeguarding and promoting the interests of our town.
VOTE FOR LABOUR ON 6th MAY, 2021

I was elected a Market Drayton Town Council representative of South Ward in April 2019 after success in a by-election.
Since then I have worked alongside other councillors and on my own initiative in helping the town respond to the problems it has faced and is facing. These include:
- The lack of affordable housing in the area.
- Further proposed cuts to the local transport system . . . this has already been reduced to the bare minimum by Shropshire Council and fails to meet the needs of the town’s residents as evidenced by the difficulties many have experienced in travelling for vaccinations during the pandemic.
- The shortage of visitors to the town and the difficulties traders are experiencing in attracting customers.
- The levels of crime and social disorder that exist locally.
- The dearth of green spaces in and around the town for recreational purposes, which has resulted in the Council vetoing a number of ill judged property development plans.
- I am currently Chairman of a working party overseeing the expansion of the Walkmill Meadows open space project for the enjoyment and benefit of the community.
- The scarcity of local amenities for the young following Shropshire Council’s decision to cease funding youth clubs.
I have also been actively involved in the establishment of Rotary in Market Drayton, which has a formed a strong bond with the Foodbank and forged social links with Market Drayton residents living in isolation.
