01/05/07 - Radio Swindon - 1 Minute Manifesto

We believe in positive campaigning, and we have set out an agenda focusing on our tangible, exciting plans to transform Swindon.

Since the Conservatives took control of Swindon Council in 2004, the Council has gone from being the joint worst in the UK to a 2 star and improving Council. 

If you are a pensioner you will be delighted we have ended Labour’s 42% Council Tax hikes, saving you money.

If you are young and energetic, come down to the Link, the Oasis or any of our community leisure centres where we have spent £3m on improvements.

If you are a family, we have built 7 new primary schools and 2 new secondary schools this year, and why not visit Lydiard Park following the £6m restoration.

If you are the public, we have exciting town centre regeneration plans, including the new £10m central library due for completion next August.  We have also doubled the number of graffiti removal vans, increased the levels of street cleaning, and will introduce full, weekly kerbside recycling for all homes.

The Conservative candidates have the drive, energy and enthusiasm to help build a better Swindon – thank you.
