Our communities are being asked to pay the price for Conservative council cuts. Vital local services are being reduced, libraries and community facilities are under threat, and the support that families, older people and vulnerable residents rely on is being stretched further every year.

We believe our communities deserve better. Local people should not have to choose between essential services simply because their council has chosen to make damaging cuts. Let’s stand together and demand that the Conservative-run council protects the services our communities depend on.

The decisions being made today will have a lasting impact on our neighbourhoods. Once local services are cut, facilities are closed and experienced staff are lost, rebuilding them can be extremely difficult. We need to make sure residents have a voice before more damaging decisions are made.
