Save Our Public Services - Tories & Liberals threaten massive cuts so that this year's council tax doesn't have to go up by a tenner. [Next council elections Thursday May 6th 2010].
Tories & Liberals have closed Underhill Older Peoples home despite the offer of free cash from an appauled benefactor to keep it open. The council shamed our city by evicting a 106 year old resident in the worst snow we'd had all winter. Transport to Day Centres was cancellled and no dustbins were emptied that day due to heavy snow yet our council evicted Wolverhampton's oldest citizen. The council's "reasons" for closure are untrue.
