| Your choice in May is simple. There is only one strong voice in the Borough opposing the appalling behaviour of Labour run Hounslow Council. That strong voice comes from your local Conservatives. Last time we polled 28% of the votes caste (Labour just over 50%). We ended up after a by-election with just 17% of the councillors (Labour 83%). Our voice of plain common sense needs and deserves to be heard in the Borough Council - at the Overview an Scrutiny Panel, at Audit and Standards, at the Pension Fund Panel etc. Faced with the climate emergency are you really going to support a council that has been unable to improve on the recycling rate of 34% that we delivered in 2010 (up in four years from the 17% we inherited). Are you going to vote for a party that had to be told (by us) that its climate emergency plan was a nonsense UNLESS it included at date by when the council would be carbon neutral? Who in their right mind would vote for party whose plans for Hounslow (fully documented and publicly available) will mean more sky-high apartment blocks that will force ever more sewage into the already overwhelmed Mogden Treatment Works? Who ever you elect you will want them to be hardworking and to be efficiently crunching through the casework for residents and getting the answers that they need. Have a good look at the work rate of the candidates who are standing across the borough. How does the performance of Labour councillors compare with that of Conservative Councillors. Oh dear - I am sorry, Labour Hounslow will not publish this information for 'technical' reasons. Never mind you can submit an FOI. Please use your vote wisely - but above all use it. |
