LABour – offering real change for a
better Leicestershire
Savage Tory cuts have left councils
struggling to maintain essential services. Labour’s
REAL CHANGE plan is made up of four
key promises designed to deliver smart, modern, local services, creating a better Leicestershire for everyone
and giving you more say and control
in your community.
PROMISE ONE
A SINGLE COUNCIL
FOR EACH AREA
Replacing district
and county councils. Removing 200+ councillors and giving local communities greater
say in setting local service priorities.
Creating long-term Community
Action Plans to secure desperately needed investment.
Improving health
and social care provision across the County by joining up local NHS, Public Health and
Social Services.
PROMISE TWO
A STRONG COMMUNITY SUPPORT NETWORK
Establishing directly funded Community
Support Hubs.
Introducing a bank share
of skills and local websites to
highlight gaps and opportunities in local provision.
Ensuring our schools play their part in providing community
facilities for our young people.
Supporting our community
libraries
Promise three
Healthier, safer communities
An Ethical Care Charter
to guarantee safe, dignified care for everyone who needs it.
A Mental Health Champion
in every community to ensure the quality of local support.
School Parking
Community Champions and Road Safety Budgets for every councillor
to resolve local traffic problems.
Promise four
Investing in making your life better --- today
An Affordable Homes
Partnership building the homes we need at a price we can afford.
A single Leicestershire
Growth Plan.
1000 new
apprenticeships. A Small Business support
scheme. A Careers Hub in every
community.
Sure Start Centres for all children
and new parents.
One thing we know as an absolute fact. Nothing is going to change
so long as the current two-tier system remains in place. Nothing has changed
since the Millennium – except that services have withered away, frontline staff
have been sacked, the general quality of
life across the county has got gradually worse. And yet Council Tax has
continued to rise. To pay for what, exactly?
The time has come for a little less conversation and a lot more
action – vote labour THURSDAY MAY 4!
