A FAIR DEAL is about making sure:

 local people and local businesses get real help during these tough economic times

 local people feel safe and get a say on police priorities for their neighbourhood

 local people have decent homes, good schools and healthcare

 local young people have real opportunities for the future

 local people get a say in decisions and the community has a real stake in their local area
