HISTORIC RESULTS ATACADEMY
North Halifax is now home to two of the best schools in Calderdale. The first
results from the recently created Trinity Academy have show a massive
leap in standards. The number of students receiving 5 A*- C grades leaped
dramatically from 48% in 2010 to 61% this year.
The freedoms brought to teachers from Academy status has driven up
standards to a record high. This was all achieved with the same students
and in the same buildings - unequivocally showing that it is teaching
quality that makes the difference.
Thanks to Education Secretary Michael Gove, a third of secondary schools
are now either an academy or have started on the road to conversion. This
is a fundamental shift in power
away from government and
towards teachers. Teachers, not
politicians or bureaucrats, know
best how to run our schools.

Tagg is a Governor at Trinity
Academy.
FIGHTING FOR
BRADSHAW LANE
Andrew Tagg says “Cut the waste and
bureaucracy not
frontline services!”
BURNING YOUR MONEY!
Instead of cutting waste andinefficiencies Calderdale’sLabour-Lib Dem council isputting up charges for care inthe home and parking fees,
cutting library services, andrefusing to implement roadsafety measures.
This whilst spending a whopping£1.1 million on:
▪ £52,000 on bottled water.▪ £900,000 on PR and
Consultants▪ £190,000 over two years
on Town Hall restaurantservices.
Andrew is continuing to pressure the council in to placing speed and weight
restrictions on Bradshaw and Riley Lanes. Residents know that cars are
going far too fast. As a campaigner for road safety Andrew works close with
the Calderdale Council’s SID Team and local police.
Speed measurements for
Riley Lane carried out on
the 25 th October show high
average results of 41MPH.
“This serious situation can
only be resolved by
p e r m a n e n t s p e e d
restrictions”, said Andrew.
“I once again ask the
council to look at a
permanent solution.”

WE NEED A REFERENDUM
ON EUROPE
DOG BAN: PENALISING THE GOOD MAJORITY Local Labour councillor, Barry Collins, proposes a complete dog
ban for 120 sports pitches and playing fields, more than 120
play areas, 19 bowling greens, 33 tennis courts and 30 gardens.
As you know most dog walkers are responsible, cleaning up after their dog. It is spoilt by a small minority of those who mistreat
our streets and parks. We do not need new rules - the existing
ones just need to be enforced! If you let your dog foul in a public
area and you don’t clean up- rightly - you are eligible to be fined.
The simple solution is already in place.

BARONESS VISITSNORTH HALIFAX
Andrew supports a referendum on the EU. Back in
1975 we voted for the Common Market - a trading
block - not the EU.
Andrew believes that we need to renegotiate our
relationship with the EU. He feels that it is important
for two reasons:
1. To get back control of our borders. Immigration
will never be completely under control whilst
we have open borders with the EU.
2. Our businesses need to grow and create jobs
and this is being stifled by masses of anti-
competitive EU legislation.
Only a Conservative government will make these
decisions.
“Andrew says: let people have
their say on Europe”
