Working closely with the local police to ensure we keep crime and anti-social behaviour to a minimum. To improve on the care for the elderly and disabled in the community.

Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? Yes Do you have anything to declare? NoFrank Leeming Party: UKIP Age: Not provided Occupation: Not provided Address: Field Crescent, Alvaston Main issues: I have eight years experience as a councillor. We at UKIP do not have to work under the control of a party Whip which means we are free to serve the community in the wards of which we are elected, not tow the party line which all the other parties do. Smear campaigns are well under way by the other parties. They are frightened that you might upset the resident political class who are more interested in self interest than in serving you the general public. That is why we believe there should be a reduction in the number of councillors by a third saving £250.000 per year. Provide the first half hour of parking in the city centre for free to try to encourage people back into the city. Save Council care homes and day centres, be truthful to the electorate at all times.

These include inappropriate housing development,road safety – particularly at schools – and facilities for both younger and older people. There continue to be problems with inconsiderate parking, particularly on pavements and grass verges, causing unnecessary and unsightly deterioration and damage. Also, as gardening activity increases in the area, the "Brown Bin Tax" has become a serious issue for those who have recycled for years and I want to scrap it. I will be opposing plans for 400 houses on the Kedleston Road Estate. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? Yes Anything to declare? NoALVASTONPeter Berry Party: Conservative Age: 67 Occupation: Retired soldier/postman/councillor Address: Gilbert Close, Spondon Main Issues: As a former Mayor of Derby, I spent a lot of time meeting residents from all walks of life. The majority of people I speak to want to live in a safe, clean and vibrant community. I would use my skills in licencing to ensure that a stop is put to the proliferation of betting shops and fast food outlets in Alvaston. I believe that we should have stronger enforcement for fly-tippers, graffiti, vandals and dog owners who don't pick up their pets mess. I will help the traders in Alvaston to work with the council to make it the vibrant and bustling centre that it deserves to be. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? Yes Anything to declare? NoAlan Graves Party: UKIP Age: Not provided Occupation: Not provided Address: Twyford Road, Derby Main issues: It is noticed by many people that work on Alvaston District Centre has occurred during the election period and not last year when there was no election. That said, it is nice to see that the years of campaigning by Alan is finally paying off. Alan is disappointed that the three Labour councillor have decided not to support the application for an Aldi shop on Coleman Street. This would be ideal for local people when the cost of living is so high on the agenda. Alan is an active member of Alvaston Park Friends. He helps local residents with issues such as the council's attempt to build on a small piece of grass in Elvaston Lane where elderly people are enjoying their last days. UKIP started a petition and that application was halted. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? Yes Anything to declare? NoJill Leonard Party: Liberal Democrats Age: 62 Occupation: Retired Address: May Street, Derby Main issues: Loss of free brown bin collections goes against improving recycling – the brown bin tax should be scrapped. Open spaces are vital for communities and need to be protected. Alvaston has already lost a lot of allotments and these need special protection. Derby needs to continue to support businesses to create new jobs, including apprenticeships to ensure we have skills for the future. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign?

He is also a GMB rep at his workplace. He is a member of Derby Socialist Party. Our councillors if elected will refuse to implement cutbacks to council funding, when faced with government driven cuts and will argue that the council should in the first instance use their reserves and prudential borrowing to mobilise the mass campaign that is necessary to defeat the cuts. The aim is to set a budget that meets the needs of the local community and demands that the government makes up the shortfall. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign?

I, along with my fellow Labour councillors, will continue to work with the residents of Arboretum in order to continue this progress.

NoAamir Shahzad Party: Conservative Age: 31 Occupation: Customer Services Address: Leonard Walk Main Issues: As a resident of the Arboretum ward I know the issues affecting the residents. Myself and many others have become weary of the same names, the same promises, but no real action. The Arboretum ward is a vibrant place to live but there are some long-term issues that affect residents of this ward which are continually overlooked. The issues of crime, anti-social behaviour, traffic issues, fly tipping, jobless youth and economic deprivation are everyday issues affecting our area. None of the current elected councillors have addressed these issues; none have brought the plight of Arboretum to the forefront despite, recently, the Mayor of Derby being an Arboretum councillor.

My thoughts for an even better Derby include: Better use of the 'can-do' voluntary sector and creation of social enterprises. Encouraging employers to take on Apprentices Pride in our neighbourhoods (e.g. OSCAR) Better marketing of our city – I'm bored of being Nottingham's poor relation. I'm a big believer in the use of local people for local services. Who knows how to serve Derby better than the people of Derby? Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign?

NoRuth Skelton Party: Liberal Democrats Age: 45 Occupation: Councillor for Blagreaves Ward Address: Donington Drive, Sunny Hill (in Blagreaves) Main issues: I'm campaigning to prevent Labour re-allocating our new city park for housing land. Our local roads can't take hundreds more cars. Labour's Brown Bin tax is a disaster, and won't save the Council money. Scrap it. Labour has pushed up the cost of living by increasing Council Tax for the past two years. Liberal Democrats will accept the extra Government cash and freeze the Council Tax. Parking charges in the city centre need reviewing. Current on-street charges in parts of the city centre are hurting businesses. Councillors should pay for meals before meetings. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? Yes Do you have anything to declare?

The many local improvements secured have come about from engaging with local people through monthly community walkabouts, known as Citizens on Patrol (COPs), surgeries and when people have contacted me. I have also developed strong partnerships with community groups, public services and voluntary sector groups serving the local community, so that we can work together for their benefit. As an Alvaston resident it would be an honour to continue to serve the community I care passionately about. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign?

NoBrian Venn Age: 68 Party: Liberal Democrats Occupation: Retired Address: Barncroft, Brayfield Road Main issues: Traffic speeds on residential roads are often too high. Local residents should be consulted on reducing the speed limit on their roads to 20mph. Open space is important, and we need to protect existing space in the city, as well as ensure that new developments contribute valuable open space for their new residents and existing ones. The brown bin tax should be scrapped. It is already leading to more dumping, and doesn't encourage people to think about recycling. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign?

I would like to work with local businesses to promote a more varied and diverse shopping centre and establish a traders association to work towards a vibrant and safe community.

This needs to be reversed. As the city grows, parks and open spaces become more and more important, land designated as future park needs to be protected, including Brook Farm Fields. Speeds on residential roads are often too high, More awareness-raising and enforcement is needed – or even reducing the limit in some areas to 20mph.

NoMartin Stuart Jones Party: Liberal Democrats Age: 55 Occupation: Chartered Design Engineer Address : Chain Lane, Littleover Main issues: City-wide policies include scrapping Labour's brown bin tax, which has resulted in a very low service uptake, making collection less efficient and discouraging the vast majority of Derby households from recycling a significant quantity of green waste. If elected I will press the Council to accept central government funding to limit council tax increases. This helps keep money in resident's pockets. Local issues include tackling dog fouling of Chellaston's streets, pressing local and central government for planning policies that place greater value on garden and green space amenity, rather than as building plot opportunities.

These times of austerity also however present us with an opportunity to engage with our communities about how we can do things differently, our values as a city and how we make sure that people are engaged locally and their voices are heard.

The main route for this is working with the Neighbourhood Manager and the Neighbourhood Forum and Board. Residents also contact us through telephone and e-mail and it is, I believe, important to listen to the views of residents on issues that they feel are important to them and the community they live in. A good example of this is the Wollaton Road green space where proposals for new homes were shelved flowing issues raised by residents.

Governments have admitted that multiculturalism has failed and yet they have increased the numbers coming here. This puts our identity, culture, freedom and security at risk. It's all down to the old gang parties who are all the same and all to blame. One million of our people have used food banks in the past 12 months and our soldiers are on the streets whilst this madness goes on unabated.

Bill was involved in the Roe Farm Lane development believing the building and activities would be an asset to our community. Little did he know that the Labour Council and Derwent Delivers would want it back. Local councillor meddling meant these projects ended up as a £39,000,000 waste of public money. Bill, and many local residents, are angry that no one was made to be accountable. Bill believes that the local community deserves answers and that those responsible are brought to book rather than swept under the carpet. If you support him he will support you.

NoLITTLEOVEREric Ashburner Party: Liberal Democrat Age: 64 Occupation: Quality Improvement Assessor for small midlands organisations, public and commercial. Address: Normanton Lane, Littleover Main issues: Derby should be run rationally not driven by party political dogma. The council tax should not have been increased, using a coalition government grant. Voluntary bodies that provide services to Derby residents more effectively than paid council staff should be used. In Littleover we support voluntary bodies that maintain local parks and flower beds magnificently. Green open spaces should be maintained - using money from developers. Brown Bin collection should be free, to reduce Landfill costs and encourage recycling. Short term Car parking in Derby centre should be free – encouraging shopping here.

Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? Yes Do you have anything to declare? NoLucy Care Party: Liberal Democrats Age: 53 Occupation: Campaigner Address: Kings Drive, Littleover Main issues: For me, councillors being representatives for their area works both ways. They represent the people to the council, and they ought to represent the council back to the people. Most important is therefore keeping in touch regularly - and ensuring that people can get in touch with me. We do this through Focus newsletters. Current top issues in the city and the area are: protecting our open spaces for future generations, making our roads and transport work better for all, reversing the brown bin tax and rebuilding Derby's position as a first rate recycling city, and treating the Neighbourhoods fairly by equalising funding across the city. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? No. There are national rules about what convictions prevent someone standing for election, and what can be counted as 'spent'. As a body, the council should be representative of the people of Derby - gender, race, experience, etc. - to go beyond the nationally required rules will risk making involvement in politics even more exclusive than it already is. I do not believe his would not be good for the city overall. This campaign is old and tired and should be laid to rest. Do you have anything to declare?

I am keen to press for the reform of parking charges too, to help revitalise the historic centre of the City. I have long fought for much better quality new developments in Derby to compliment the City's incomparable historic fabric and I am also very keen to promote and improve the City's Museums through the Trust, of which I am proud to be a member.

NoAlan Grimadell Party: Conservatives Age: Not disclosed Occupation: Freelance Marketing and PR Address: Netherwood Court, Derby. Main Issues: As a former Councillor, I will bring experience and commitment to the residents of Littleover. I strongly support the axing of the Brown Bin Collection Charge, and a total freeze on local Council Tax. I will work hard to keep Littleover an attractive place to live. I will concentrate on a reduction in anti-social behaviour, improving access to public transport, improving traffic flow, and improving facilities for young people. From charity work to professional work I have a proven track record of delivery. My promise to all Littleover residents is total commitment.

Address: Snelston Crescent, Littleover Main Issues: In Littleover there are a number of areas of traffic management where inappropriate developments have taken place and others where action is needed. If elected, I will work to ensure that traffic management and parking in Littleover are appropriate for the people who live here. I am concerned to maximise local accessibility for people with all types of disability. Having previously been a wheelchair user due to a serious spinal injury, I appreciate the difficulties lack of access can cause. If elected, I will fight to continue the significant improvements in the quality of Littleover schools seen since Labour took control of the Council in 2012. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare campaign: No, I feel it is important that all people are allowed to rebuild their lives. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 is there for a good reason; it aids people rebuilding their lives and it also helps them become useful members of society again. People change and we must do everything will can to aid them to change for the better. We should remember that for the most serious offences convictions never becomes spent. Do you have anything to declare? I have no unspent convictions.Gurpal Singh Party: Labour Age: 34 Occupation: IT Technician. Address: Sedgemoor Way, Heatherton Main Issues: There is a danger that further housing development in the Heatherton area will have a detrimental effect on residents throughout Littleover. Burton Road in Littleover is at times very busy. There are a number of small potential improvements which cumulatively could significantly improve the situation. In the Heatherton area more facilities for young people need developing. It would be sensible for bus companies to divert local buses via the Royal Hospital on their way to the city. There is no doctor's surgery in Littleover village. This is not a situation which will be easily remedied, but it seems worth investigating.

With local communities feeling the pinch of challenging financial circumstances, the role of local councillors is now more important than ever. My experience in sports coaching around the world has given me unique opportunities to work with young people in different cultures and backgrounds. I have seen first hand the importance of local cohesion and effective leadership in creating a positive effect on the social environment. This collective focus is something I believe I can implement to fuel development in the Mackworth ward. Do you support the Derby Telegraph's Anything to Declare Campaign? Yes Anything to declare? NoCatrin Rutland Party: Liberal Democrats Age: 36 Occupation: Lecturer Address: Langley Street, Derby Main issues: The New Zealand area only kept recycling because of a strong community campaign. The loss of free brown bins also needs to be fought against, people need to be encouraged to recycle. If elected we would scrap the brown bin tax. Traffic speed is a big issue in some areas, and more use should be made of 20mph areas where people want these. Parking remains a problem in some places, and more needs to be done to encourage alternatives to driving, where this is practical. In the past I have campaigned for improved facilities in the ward, including the library, skate park and community centre. Things like this can help the community help itself to reduce problems of anti-social behaviour. I also have a strong interest in health and education which are vital for people's well-being.

I will continue to fight plans to develop on Mickleover's precious green spaces. These need protecting for future generations. I want to see Labour's hated "Brown Bin Tax" scrapped. It is hitting residents in their pockets and risks increasing fly-tipping. Grants from the coalition government to freeze Council Tax should be accepted.

I also support the freezing of council tax. I think it's wrong that Mickleover's funding has been cut by Derby's Labour Council and given to areas like Normanton. I want to see fair and equal community funding, increasing it to £50k. I continue to oppose housing developments being imposed on Mickleover. Our local schools, roads, doctor's surgeries & facilities cannot cope. We need to expand the City boundary to better protect established communities.

I see both the Liberal Democrats and the Conservative parties, putting out leaflets about cuts made by the Labour controlled council, and the charge for the brown bin collection, but giving us no clue to what they would cut. I think it's only fair for the electorate to ask what would they cut and where would they raise extra money. Do you support the Telegraph's anything to declare campaign? No. I firmly believe that all people should be allowed the chance to rebuild their lives, and become useful members of society.

Sorting out the quality of many of the roads, streets and walkways is paramount to this. Normanton is a place people in other places should be jealous of, and a place the people living there should be immensely proud of. However it is harmed by the anti social behaviour of a minority who make life difficult for everyone else. I want to make Normanton a better place to live and work and to work with other agencies to drive down crime and nuisance which blights peoples' lives.
