I feel sorry for Conservati­ves

-

I feel sorry for the Conservati­ves, most are honourable people who genuinely want the best for our borough and country. Sadly for them, their time is up.

You only get a little time to show how you can run the council and the country. I have been canvassing and they often tell me that they are Conservati­ve voters but they can’t vote for this Conservati­ve Party. Lots of people are undecided.

The Lib Dems in Wokingham have had some time to manage the council and have found the going tough, finances are a challenge, car park charge increases, refuse collection­s, public bins and rubbish in general.

More car park charges to come? Larger bins to come and more financial challenges. The Conservati­ves say they have enough money.

Cllr Stephen Conway is an honourable man and has found the finances and managing the council a big job where partnershi­p is needed.

The Conservati­ve voters and all the voters have a choice on May 2. It’s time for the public to say how they feel and who they want as councillor­s. Labour is part of that.

Working in partnershi­p has been a theme I subscribe to. We all need to work together as people who want the very best for our borough. Voters want solutions to their problems and not petty squabbling. Problems such as potholes, anti-social behaviour, crime, rubbish collection, adult social care, education need solutions and car park charges are part of that.

The Conservati­ves have had their time, the Lib Dems have had their time and people have had time to assess both.

At national level, the Conservati­ves have had their time and people want change. Reform have arrived and reform there will be.

The British people will soon tell us what they think of the Conservati­ves after 14 long years.

Time for a change and renewal. We must all work together in partnershi­p to make improvemen­ts and make the borough a happier place to live in. Greg Bello, Councillor, Woodley
