We represent value for money, strong community investment, and, above all, helping our residents to help themselves.
Ultimately, the Conservatives would be remiss to attribute the local election results to anyone other than ourselves.
Our County Council has mishandled public money and done so much badly – under the last four years of a Liberal Democrat and Labour coalition propped up by not-very-independent Independents.
Let’s stop trying to be all things to all people and get on passionately with what we believe in ourselves.
We need CCHQ to oversee a campaign manager in every constituency, select candidates for all elections much earlier, resource a local Conservative presence over the long term, and be much more stringent with their expectations.
We have frozen our share of Council Tax. We have Community Land Trusts which enable developments to be led by local people’s needs. We have free town centre car parking.
