Guidford Conservatives have launched their manifesto for the 2011 Borough Elections on 5th May this year. This set of innovative and exciting ideas will not only improve on the great work already completed but present fresh thinking on how to tackle the challenges in the new council term.
Key pledges include:
#1 Keep your Council Tax down
We have frozen council tax for 2011/12 and have kept it below inflation for 8 years.
#2 Combat Climate Change
We met our 52% recycling and composting target. Our new target is 70% including new plastics.
#3 Fight Garden Grabbing and protect the Green Belt
Following our victory in defeating the South East Plan, we will join residents in fighting inappropriate development.
#4 Help build Stronger Communities
We will provide more allotments and sponsor a ‘nominated neighbour scheme’ to aid the elderly and vulnerable.
#5 Make our Streets Safer and Cleaner
Promote Community Speedwatch Schemes and increase street sweeping.
