David Cameron launches Conservative Local Government campaign
David Cameron is launching the Conservative campaign for the 3rd May local elections today.
He is expected to say the following.
“The mission of the modern Conservative Party is to improve the quality of life for everyone, and local councils have a leading role to play in doing just that.
Conservatives are the largest party in local government, and I’m proud of the work they do in towns, cities and rural areas right across the country. From Bradford to Barnet, Dudley to Daventry, and Macclesfield to Medway, Conservative led councils are delivering better services while providing value for money and helping keep the cost of living down through lower council tax. Their achievements show exactly why it’s right to give more power and responsibility to local councils.
At the heart of our local election campaign this year is the promotion of civic pride. We believe in social responsibility, in trusting people to do the right thing and giving them real control over their lives. After a decade of top-down centralisation from Labour, it’s time to recognise that we will only tackle the big social challenges we face if people have a real sense of pride in, and responsibility for, their local community - and play an active part in making it a better place to live.
That’s why we’re focusing our efforts on fighting crime and grime. There is a clear connection between cleaner streets and safer streets. Going green is not just good for the environment, it’s good for tackling the crime and anti-social behaviour that can have such a devastating impact on people’s quality of life.
Conservatives have a great record on fighting crime and grime at the local level. The figures show that Conservative councils have the cleanest streets, with lower levels of litter, graffiti and fly-posting. All over the country, communities have voted blue and gone green – and many of the best examples are set out in this document.
On May 3rd, people will have the chance to vote for change, and to make a real difference in their quality of life. The Conservative Party’s message is simple: Vote Blue, Go Green.”
