What We Stand For

Boston Bypass Indepedents (BBI) were elected at the local elections on a manifesto of Getting Boston Moving by getting a bypass built for Boston. We were accused by our opponents of being a single issue party but the electorate soon saw through this political smokescreen, voting the old guard out and a virtually brand new council in to power.

The BBI firmly believes in having no sacred cows, no person nor issue immune from scrutiny or critiscism, and questioning all aspects of the Council's work. We want to reflect the views of the electorate and promote Boston as a good place to work and live.

The BBI also stand for:

• Short-term traffic-flow improvement
• A better bus service
• A review of car parking charges
• Better public toilets
• More recycling
• Less litter
• Reducing anti-social behaviour
• More off-street parking for residents
• Full investigation of the affairs of the Princess Royal Sports Arena
