Ref. 30655-8KEVIN SMALL (LAB): This election is a clear choice between investing in and protecting services or the Tory agenda of cuts.

We want a better environment with cleaner streets, and want to protect our recreation services like the Oasis and allotments.

We will strive to provide more affordable social housing so we can attract key workers to the town, and we will also deliver the new central library.

We support park and ride schemes to reduce congestion and want to improve public transport.

Labour acknowledges that we made mistakes but we have learned from those mistakes.

Many of the initiatives now showing fruit were started in the last few months of the Labour administration.

Labour is committed to protecting the most vulnerable people in society and raising standards in schools.
