Overdevelopment is a massive concern for residents like myself, and they have told me how much they oppose the proposed Ash Flats Lane development.

If you want a councillor who will actually stand up and fight Labour’s disastrous planning policies, you have to vote Conservative on the 16th of July.

Leigh Ingham’s statement thanks Keir Starmer for his leadership and acknowledges the public’s dissatisfaction with the Government’s first two years.

However, it is worth remembering that as a Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS), Leigh Ingham has been part of the Government team throughout this period. She has supported and voted for the Government’s legislative programme and policies alongside her Labour colleagues.

Many of the issues voters have raised concerns about in recent elections - whether on the economy, public services, immigration, or the cost of living, developed while Labour has been in office, and Government MPs have collectively been responsible for those decisions.

If Labour now accepts that voters are unhappy with the direction of the country, it is reasonable to ask not only what Keir Starmer’s role was, but also what responsibility those supporting his Government, including Leigh Ingham, should take.

Voters deserve accountability from everyone involved in delivering Government policy, not just from the Prime Minister.

Welcome to Charlotte Kelly!

We’re delighted to welcome Cllr Charlotte Kelly, County Councillor for Leek Rural, back to the Conservative Party.

Charlotte has taken the decision to leave Reform UK after raising concerns about bullying and sexism within the group and a failure by its leadership to address those concerns.

Speaking about her decision, Charlotte said:

“Throughout this period, Conservative councillors have been welcoming, supportive and respectful. Having previously been a member of the Conservative Party, I already knew many of the people involved and the values they stand for. I am a traditional Conservative and under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership I feel the party is my natural home.”

Leader of the Conservative Group, Cllr Philip White, welcomed Charlotte’s return:

“Charlotte is a dedicated and hardworking councillor who has always put her residents first. We are delighted to welcome her back to the Conservative Party and look forward to working with her on behalf of communities across Staffordshire.”

Charlotte will continue to serve the residents of Leek Rural and work alongside Conservative colleagues to deliver for local communities across Staffordshire.

Please join us in welcoming Charlotte back to the Conservative team.
