I mentioned in an earlier blog there were lots of reasons to vote Conservative on May 1st. As a special Easter variety treat, here are some of them:
Schools for local needs:
Conservatives will adopt a new education policy to get away from the “one-size fits all” approach. We want the structure of the school system to be driven by local needs. We do not support forced elimination of middle schools.
Better care for older people:
Older residents deserve better than the current arrangements. Conservatives will review the operation of the service with Northumberland Care Trust (who provide the service at the moment) We have opposed outright the proposed increases in care charges.
Manage the Council Tax: Conservative Councils have a history of Council Tax rises below inflation. We know we can find efficiencies to give better services and we intend to keep the Council Tax down. Under the present administration, Northumberland has one of the highest levels of Council Tax in the country.
And as well as dualling the A1, we will ensure good weather during Bank Holidays.*

Incidentally, did you know there is a reason the weather is often worse at weekends (and therefore bank holidays) than during the week? Look here..
* I am advised that I should point out this is not a serious policy commitment.

The A1 is desperately in need of dualling. It's like a race track on there some days with impatient drivers. Then of course we have the lorries which hold the flow up not to mention the tractors (!).
