I can always tell when an election is due. Once every four years, I receive a Conservative paper through my door called the Wish Window.
This year, there is a promise from the Conservative finance spokesman that if the Tories win control of the council they will not increase council tax.
If they are going to freeze council tax at its present level for the new four years, what services will they be cutting? Fewer road sweepers? Fewer dustmen or less money for social care, maybe?
If my vote is to be cast, I will need more than the four-yearly leaflets to convince me a Conservative vote will deliver better services for a fixed price.
