Cuts to neighbourhood services, cuts to policing, cuts to our local schools, NHS dentists disappearing, doctors waiting times increasing – in all my life, things have never been so bad.

At least locally, Labour has held the line – keeping things like our library open, providing funding for local projects and investing in community spaces like our parks. I have been a resident of Vicars Cross for 9 years. My children attend Oldfield Primary School, I shop locally and I really want to make a positive difference for our area.
