THE Slough Conservatives want residents to go to the polls and “kick out the councillors who bankrupted your council”.

Residents will be having their say at the polls on Thursday, May 5, on who will be representing them until next year when the council swaps to all-out elections from 2023.

This will be the first election with Slough Borough Council’s £760m borrowing debt and £479m black hole on show. The council is also needing to make £20m of savings a year until 2028/29.

The Slough Conservatives have said they have not produced a manifesto as no matter the outcome of this year’s election, it won’t be enough to take control of the Labour-control council as the ruling party will still have the majority.

But their candidates are standing under the banner of “kick out the councillors who bankrupted your council”.

The Tories have pledged to save front-line services from the £20m cuts a year for the next few years by eliminating Labour’s “waste and inefficiencies”.

They also claim Labour are “in denial” about the council’s financial crisis. Conservative leader Dexter Smith said: “The Conservatives don't have any pet projects and ivory towers to defend. We would start by selling the Council's new £50m luxury HQ instead of leasing out three of the five floors as they now propose.”

They also oppose the council’s hike in taxes, fees, and charges during the cost of living crisis.
