The decision date for voting gets nearer

 Decision time and voting day of 3rd May gets closer.


While nationally the performance of Cameron’s Government gets worse… a farce and making us the laughing stock as Theresa May our Home Secretary gets her dates wrong, Osbourne in his budget hits the elderly with his granny tax, hits the income of those who are struggling to makes ends meet and gives around a £40000 pay rise to millionaires .. when 25 out of the 27 members of the cabinet are millionaires!

Our NHS is being turned upside down in a reorganisation that threatens to wreck what is a most precious service … listen to what Lord Winston, a pioneer in fertility treatment, said on TV the other night that these health service reforms threaten the whole fabric of our NHS.

In Walsall if we gain those critical 4 extra seats, and I get back in Blakenall, I pledge to lead the fight to scrutinise every change in the service and be a very effective voice to stop any privatisation of our NHS.

We are very aware that there are many with the removal of their Disability Living Allowance will be condemned to a miserable existence.. I have a number of statements where those affected are feeling suicidal at the prospect of trying to manage on a serious loss of income.. maybe alright for those of plentiful means but not for many… Welfare rights service are dealing with well over 100 cases more over the last week or so. We will look very carefully at these cases and ensure they have the best advice and support.

The issue of fairness to all residents will be restored.

This Tory Council has lost over £25 million pounds in failed employment tribunals and many failed contracts. Any Council Officer negotiating future contracts will only be someone who has the high quality skills to negotiate the best possible deal for the public purse// dealing with contracts that in the private sector are mostly interested in making a profit for their shareholders.

There will be a root and branch approach to every area of Council activity and certainly look at the level of wage costs to our very highly paid senior executives.. is anyone worth the equivalent of £230,000? We shall see!
