“Please help: It’s time to boot out Labour councillors who bankrupt Slough Council” – Matthew Taylor

"If you would like to join or help my campaign to replace Slough's Labour councillors who have 'bankrupt' the Council, please contact me" says local Lib Dem Matthew Taylor, email: matthew.taylor@sloughlibdems.org.uk

Matthew (photographed leading a Cippenham litter pick with Robert Plimmer) made good progress towards defeating Labour in Cippenham Meadows Ward in May 2022. He came a clear second last time, and only Matthew and the Lib Dems can beat Labour in this part of Cippenham in May 2023.

Because of the financial crisis the Labour councillors created, they now say they have to break their promises and make massive cuts in our vital local services this year, and for years to come. Labour councillors have said they are ending the weekly bin collections from June this year. They are also selling off up to £600 million of our Council assets to pay for the debts they created.

According to Matthew, nearly everyone is saying, "It's time for a change in Slough."

Matthew says, "If you elect Lib Dem councillors in May we will aim to bring in new approaches and policies. We will try to ensure all councillors elected in May 2023 work together to form a joint administration to tackle the extreme crisis created by Slough's Labour councillors. We will also promote new ideas, including tackling crime and anti-social behaviour by working together. We must all oppose the 40% cuts in police funding for tackling crime and anti-social behaviour in Slough made by the Tory boss of Thames Valley Police (ie, the Police and Crime Commissioner) almost immediately after he was elected in 2021."
