Elections 2015: Keep Elmbridge in safe hands

Conservative group leader Councillor John O'Reilly

Let’s keep moving forward with Elmbridge Conservatives on May 7th. 

Since taking control in 2006, Conservative run Elmbridge has become one of Britain’s highest performing Councils. We have kept your Council Tax down while delivering top quality services for residents.

We have frozen our share of the Council Tax in seven of the last nine years, a record only a handful of Councils can match. During this period national retail price inflation has been 33%: Elmbridge Council Tax just 7%.

We have fully maintained funding for Elmbridge’s flourishing community sector.  Next year all our 11 key voluntary organizations, including our two Citizen’s Advice Bureaux will receive an above inflation 2% increase in grants.

We shall continue to protect our unique green environment, promote local enterprise, and support affordable housing. From May 2016, the number of Councillors will be cut by 20%, saving over £50,000 a year.

Elmbridge has a deserved reputation as one of Britain’s Best Boroughs. Let’s keep it that way.

Meet your local Conservative candidates standing for election to Elmbridge Borough Council on Thursday May 7th.
