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 ?
