Milton Keynes Conservatives have pledged to deliver on ‘5 Cs’ from connectivity to communities if they take control of Milton Keynes City Council this year.
Local elections are set to take place in the city on 4th May with 20 council seats up for grabs. The local Conservative group are currently the largest party, but the Liberal Democrats teamed up with Labour to form a coalition which currently runs the council.
But local Conservatives in Milton Keynes believe their ‘5 Cs’ plan is the best way to deliver for the residents of the city who have grown tired of reckless overexpansion and poor bus services.
Their 5 Cs are:
Taking back Control of Planning – reassessing the local plan priorities in line with local demands
Building Communities, not just houses
Connectivity – a timetabled and reliable bus service that is fit for purpose for the whole city area
Communications technology delivering a broadband infrastructure fit for a truly smart city
Certainty – so people and business can invest in their futures today and for tomorrow.
The Conservative group is continuing to campaign for homes for local people delivered via a planning system that is sympathetic to the environment and built to meet the highest climate focused standards, as well as helping young people develop skills for work and life by supporting MK:U, a new university for Milton Keynes.
They have criticised the Labour-Lib Dem run council for their wasteful spending of taxpayer’s money and are determined to build a strong, sustainable local economy rather than becoming a dormitory for the cities of London, Oxford and Cambridge.
Leader of the Conservative Group, Cllr David Hopkins, commented: “Our plan will deliver for Milton Keynes, cutting waste across the council, investing in new and sustainable businesses, keeps communities and the environment at the heart of every decision, and will ensure that no one will get left behind.”
