Blackheath Council Tax shock

Yes it is a shock, under Labour your council tax doubled, but under the Conservative led Government Sandwell Labour have been given money to freeze your council tax,

ask you Labour councillor to tell you how many £Millions Sandwell has been given ?

Now Sandwell Labour has mentioned in the press they may ignore the Conservative led Governments wishes and raise your council tax as well as your rent.

Can you afford Labour ?

Rowley Regis Hospital Parking disgrace

The caring folk at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS trust have raised parking charges at Rowley Regis Hospital. Up to six hours will see see fees jump from £2 to £2.50.

This is a perfect Tax on the ill and infirm, these managers know they have a captive market

and know you want to visit loved ones

We also hear that Sandwell Council has representatives on the Hospital trusts Board of Governors.

So complain to the Council

Can you afford Labour ?

Rent Rise for Blackheath Residents

Yes your caring Labour council strikes again, with Rent rises of up to 4% and we are now waiting to see if Sandwell also hike the council tax, even though the Conservative led government has previously given Sandwell money to keep it at 0%

I don’t think you will hear Labour moaning as it was the Labour Government that set Rents to rises each year at (RPI) + 0.5% + £2 per week, back in 2002

                                                      Labour are coming for your money

I wonder if Sandwell need s the money to pay for another Public arts building ?

In the Year since Labour took Sandwell homes under council control rents have rocketed by up to £11 per week
Can you afford Labour ?
