County Conservatives Announce Lower Council Tax Manifesto

Wed, 05/06/2009 - 12:16 — editor

Staffordshire County Conservatives have launched a manifesto for change in the county, including pledges to cut council tax, invest in the crumbling road network, and help for people to get back in to work.

Commenting on the Manifesto, Dr Fox said, “The Manifesto is clear, simple to understand and to the point. It says Staffordshire Conservatives will bring down Council Tax and offer fresh ideas, releasing essential services from years of old-Labour interference.

It is time for change from a Labour Council that has been in office so long in power that they have forgotten that they were elected to serve the needs of the population. A Conservative County Council in Staffordshire will transform this and give Gordon Brown a message that is unmistakable in its content.”

Philip Atkins Leader of the Conservative County Group remarked, “Our ambitions are to make Staffordshire a competitive county, packed with innovation, winning new investment and employment and see communities having a greater say in how the services they pay for are delivered.

We believe it is time for a change and this manifesto sets out our plans for that change and our first steps. We wish to see Staffordshire County Council work for local need, not central government easy targets with hidden risks that impact on the quality of our services. We believe the County Council should be run for the people and taxpayers it serves, not the politicians.”
