Tory waste

TORY WASTE

Since 2000 Walsall’s Conservative Council has increased Council tax by over 75%, whilst :
- £3 million to be repaid to the
European Union because the
Council didn’t keep proper
accounting records
- £6 million cut from Social
Services this year, but the
Tories won’t say who’s going
to suffer.
- £6 million overspend (and
rising) on the new Walsall ring
road
- £6 million extra payments to
lighting contractor, Amey, for
our streetlights
- £2 million plus spent on
employment tribunal cases
- £? millions in payments to
former Council officers.
Total of £23 million plus wasted
SCHOOLS IN CRISIS….
Despite millions invested in the education of our children by a Labour Government, Walsall - under the Conservative-run Council - is still at the bottom of league tables for national GCSE results (131 out of 149).

FLAGSHIP TORY POLICIES
