Wolverhampton Conservative Group

Labour is not working for Wolverhampton, and this Thursday brings a valuable opportunity to show them just that. We're not letting our three Wolverhampton Labour MPs forget that they voted to excuse Starmer of appointing Peter Mandelson. Vote Conservative this Thursday.

All three of Wolverhampton's Labour MPs voted against holding an inquiry into Starmer's handling of the Peter Mandelson debacle. What do they have to hide? Instead of towing the party line, they should've stood on their principles and backed a thorough look into this.

On Monday, Keir Starmer launched the Labour Party's local election campaign right here in Wolverhampton. The issue is that he used City of Wolverhampton College's brand-new campus to do it.

It's Budget day! Our alternative budget promises lower taxes, better roads, cheaper waste prices, and a safer city. We will fight tooth and nail in the Chamber this evening to ensure it is passed.

Everyone knows that parking charges in our city are jaw-droppingly high. In our alternative budget, we will scrap them all together on evenings and weekends - giving our high street and businesses the support they need. expressandstar.com/news/local-hub…

At Wednesday's Budget Council meeting, we are rejecting Labour's continual maximum increase of Council Tax. Their decision means that the average Council Tax in our city will go above £2500 a year. Only the Conservatives would stop this. expressandstar.com/news/local-hub…

Two of our Labour MPs, Pat McFadden and Sureena Brackenridge, have missed a number of key meetings relating to our city's future and regeneration. This is unacceptable and shows that they don't take our city or their roles seriously. expressandstar.com/news/politics/…

The recent nationalisation of West Midlands Railway was a missed opportunity for our city. Richard Parker should've taken the opportunity to bring them under WMCA control, but he once again sat on his hands. Our city and region deserves better. plus.expressandstar.com/news/transport…

Our housing standards have been shocking for far too long, and our recent housing inspection outcome confirms this. The Wolverhampton Homes model isn't working, and it needs to change. plus.expressandstar.com/news/local-hub…

The 5000-signature threshold for a petition to receive a debate at Full Council simply isn't working. Today, we are bringing a motion to lower it to 1000, which will bring more power to our residents and allow for greater access to democracy. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It is unbelievable that Chief Constable Craig Guildford is still in post. He must go, as our Leader, Councillor Simon Bennett, explained to the Express and Star 📰 #viafoura-comments-container" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">expressandstar.com/news/politics/…

Whilst the funding increase for our city is "good news" on paper, it highlights just how much Labour has let Wolverhampton fall. We are being rewarded for our own failure. Councillor Udey Singh explains more 📷 expressandstar.com/news/politics/…

Our momentum is increasing as we campaign to stop the Wolverhampton garden tax rise. ✍️ Sign our petition today and let's stop the tax 🚫 expressandstar.com/news/local-hub…

Our councillors (and members) attended remembrance services across Wolverhampton yesterday, to honour those who fought for our freedom. We will remember them.

We've run out of words for this one. We'll let the article speak for itself. plus.expressandstar.com/news/local-hub…

A 37.5% increase to green waste collection prices is unacceptable. It will lead to more fly tipping, and worse uptake. We will be raising the issue at Full Council. plus.expressandstar.com/news/local-hub…
