Last night Labour declared that, if they win the Council in May, they will cut spending on roads, pavements, playgrounds and other community facilities in order to pay for unnecessary new jobs in the Council. Their dangerous budget amendment also proposed spending emergency reserves at a time of enormous uncertainty on ‘get rich quick’ schemes such as property developments just as bankrupt Labour Councils like Croydon tried and failed.
Leader of Hillingdon Conservatives, Cllr Ian Edwards said: “Never has the choice been clearer. Sound financial management, excellent services and facilities valued by Hillingdon residents with Hillingdon Conservatives, or cuts, bureaucracy and reckless gambling leading to bust with Labour.”
