Warrington Conservatives

Warrington Borough Council borrowed close to £2bn. Conservative councillors raised concerns, repeatedly, about the governance around those decisions and about returns that were promised and never materialised. Labour councillors, with Liberal Democrat support, dismissed them and waved the schemes through.

Residents are now paying for that. The council must find more than £50m in further savings, and that means significant changes to social care for elderly residents, higher parking charges that will damage our high streets, and further closures of leisure centres already in a perilous state. This is not an abstract argument about historic borrowing or numbers on a balance sheet. It arrives at the front door of Warrington residents.

'Warrington residents desperately need this recovery to work'

Labour's tax hikes and new employment laws are making it harder for businesses in Warrington to hire young people, putting thousands of summer jobs at risk!

We need far greater political scrutiny of the Officers plans intended to help restore the town’s finances.

TORY Cllr John Roddy has warned that Borough Council’s future “savings” programme requires far greater political scrutiny after questioning senior officers about proposals intended to help restore the authority’s finances.

Warrington Labour’s disastrous borrowing finally becoming clear for all to see.

Residents face even deeper cuts to local services and at the same time Council taxes reaches record levels.

Warrington Borough Council is proposing a further £51.2 million of savings, on top of £39m already identified, around £90 MILLION in total.

The Council is still facing an estimated £179m financial gap by 2029/30, with proposals including a smaller workforce, changes to services and significant savings from Adult Social Care.

Residents continue to pay more in Council Tax while increasingly being asked to accept less in return.

After years of financial problems, serious questions remain about how Warrington got into this position and who takes responsibility.

Warrington taxpayers deserve better financial management, accountability and value for money.

Net Zero has driven up energy costs for residents across Warrington and made us more reliant on foreign imports.

The best way to boost our economy, reduce the cost of living, and protect the environment is to make electricity cheap.

Questions for Labour in Warrington to answer over the section 106 money from developments in South Warrington that seems to have been spent elsewhere.

And, what did Appleton local Liberal Democrat councillors actually do to secure investment in Broomfields while substantial Section 106 funding remained?

We need some answers…
