Our County Councillors hold our values and have given years of effective service, in a Council consistently rated by external auditors as EXCELLENT.
The election on June 4th is about who runs the County Council - Labour or the Tories.
South Derbyshire Tories want to sell council housing, against the wishes of the tenants;
South Derbyshire Tories have underspent on litter and dog mess collection by £80,000.
Derbyshire Tories will privatise the running of care homes for the elderly;
The Tories opposed measures to help families and businesses in the recession.
The choice is clear and the choice matters.
Labour who've increased funding on highway maintenance
against the Tories who underspent the budget on litter and dog mess collection.
Labour who've invested in homes for the elderly like the new Castle Court in Castle Gresley,
against the Tories who are planning to sell off the District Council housing against the wishes of the tenants.
Labour, who've brought forward £7m of extra investment in schools and public construction projects
against the Tories who have refused the opportunity to build extra council housing.
Derbyshire Tories, under a Tory Gov't -
one in 5 children's centres would close; they don't back children's centres;
They would spend less on the Police and have fewer Police officers;
Improvements to school buildings would be cancelled;
Nationally -
A leaflet that has "La la la la la" alongside Gordon's photo is just purile;
They’re still campaigning against the minimum wage; and had a bill in Parliament earlier this month to push the argument;
The South Derbyshire Tories are divided. One Tory County Councillor, deselected by Heather Wheeler’s Tories, is standing as an independent.
