THE TRUTH
DAVE WESTHEAD THE LOCAL CHOICE FOR ASHTON HURST WARD FOR THE LATEST CAMPAIGN NEWS VISIT WWW.tamesidetories.COM
a message from Dave Westhead... I am Ashton born and bred and was educated at Hurst Methodist Junior and Hartshead Secondary Schools. I am a Town Planner working in Local Government. Labour have failed the people of Ashton, leaving each of you with over £22,000 of debt. Never before has this country owed so much money. This
is a direct result of Labour’s failings. This has been compounded by their failure to recognise what they have done; or having recognised their failure to apologise for it. Instead they only believe in throwing more and more of your money at any pet project. The only way they can do this is to increase the amount of money they
take off you. Having done this they take it for granted that they will be elected time and time again. I will never take your vote for granted. My pledge to you is to work hard for all residents alongside my colleague Cllr. Richard to ensure that you have a Council which acts in a prudent and responsible manner.

Tameside Conservatives
Change tameside for the better We will work for you
After 32 years of Labour rule in Tameside, we have high crime, low education standards, broken communities, failing town centres, a threatened environment and pot holed roads - yet the Labour councillors insist on wasteful spending. The Conservatives offer you real change to Labour’s wasted years. End Labour failure by voting Conservative on the 5th May.
Fairer taxation: tackling income tax
Your council: Your services
We have taken an extra 1 million of the lowest paid out of paying income tax all together and increased the tax allowance. The first £10,000 you earn will be tax free; by doing this we can help stimulate business in the area and create a sustainable economic future that should see tax rates falling.
Labour claimed the Conservatives would:
Balanced Economy: Stable growth, not excessive spending Labour’s excessive spending which nationally has left every man, woman and child owing £22,300 - more than the average wage in Tameside. We will get spending under control and make sure services are affordable and value for money.

These are unfounded lies. A Conservative council would safeguard the services you need.
