lections to Worcestershire County Council will take place on May 6th and the Completely Bromsgrove team would like to urge you to cast your vote to determine the way our district is run.

bdul Jilani is the Labour Party’s candidate for Bromsgrove South at May’s local elections. Abdul lives locally in Bromsgrove and believes our town has had a poor deal from the Conservative-run Worcestershire County Council over recent years. We need decisions to be made locally, by people that live locally and understand our town.
accommodation treated with dignity without having to change care homes due to lack of funding.
How can it be right that a group of Conservative councillors, most not even living in Bromsgrove, try to push through mass development at Whitford and Perryfields without a thought to the traffic congestion and pollution these schemes risk? What is more, did they secure a penny to help local GP services support thousands more residents? No.
We want education to be enhanced for people throughout life and the use of our libraries with new books and computer facilities at the centre of this learning. This is in contrast to years of Conservative cuts to local services.
Labour has been calling for a Western relief road for Bromsgrove since 2011. It’s just plain wrong to improve the transport on one side of the town whilst stuffing all the development onto the other side of Bromsgrove.
We wish to strengthen and expand our environmental and trading standards team to protect the people of Worcestershire from pollution and dangerous goods. We wish this service to become self-funding. Labour in Worcestershire will put the environment and a greener county at the centre of everything which we do.
