Town Centre
Your Labour Team
Your Labour Team: David Coleman and Paul Kirton
There has never been a more important local election as our Council faces huge cuts in its budgets and our area needs strong people to stick up for our community.
And with David Coleman and Paul Kirton, who have served the area for more than 28 years between them, we have a Labour team that will continue to fight your corner as everything from police numbers to leisure services suffer under the Tory led Government.
They'll work to ensure that critical local services like street cleaning, refuse collection, job creation, bus services and environmental improvements are maintained.
Our town has seen some changes in recent years as Labour councillors have battled hard to maintain services and breathe new life into the area.
Sadly our town centre has suffered following the world banking crises which caused the recession. But there are positive things happening too with the planned Globe redevelopment and the new High Street Enterprise Shopping Arcade bringing jobs to the area.
Much more still needs to be done and Paul and David will be your voice through these tough times and make things happen. And they'll keep in touch through your regular Rose newsletters and surgeries.
A strong, experienced team to work for Town Centre

David is married with two grown up sons and three grandchildren. He has been a Councillor for the former Portrack & Tilery Ward and Stockton Town Centre Ward for twenty years.
He has tried his best to keep residents informed with newsletters and to represent the wishes of people who live in the area, by holding regular weekly surgeries and by attending residents meetings and will continue to do so if re-elected.
Paul Kirton
Paul has served as Councillor for the Town Centre Ward for 11 years. Last year Paul was elected Mayor. Money raised for his Mayors charity has been used for the benefit of groups around the Borough. Paul serves on the boards of two organisations in Town Centre ward tackling disadvantage and drug abuse. If re-elected, Paul pledges to continue fighting for the good of the ward and maintain regular contact with residents.
