A CLEAN SWEEP BY THE CONSERVATIVES

‘It’s time to Bin Labour's Rubbish policies’ – say Stirling Conservatives’
Stirling Conservative’s team of Council candidates today outlined their plans for real improvements to waste collection in Stirling District.

In week two of the campaign they are focusing on everyday issues that affect local people.

Bridge of Allan candidate, Callum Campbell, said, “People are fed up with Labour’s failure on basic services. Having your bins and recycling box emptied on the allotted day isn’t exactly rocket science, but after spending £2.5 Million on new equipment this Council still fails to deliver.

Yet in Stirling, no Labour Councillor takes any blame. Instead they blame the management, the equipment and even blame their own workforce. We say it’s a lack of leadership by Labour’s failed Councillors, pure and simple.”

Conservative Candidate for Stirling West, Neil Benny said, “ Everywhere I go, almost every elector I meet has his own horror story of failure of Stirling Council’s basic services. And this on the back of the latest figures showing that refuse collection is costing £170 per year per household – the highest in Scotland!

Hugh McRae, Conservative Candidate for Dunblane said, “Labour is running scared on this issue. I have floods of complaints about late collections with some people waiting up to three days for a collection. On top of that it’s costing us an arm and a leg.”

The recently launched Conservative Manifesto, “Don’t just hope for a better council – vote for it”, lays out plans for an expansion to the waste service to include more recycling. It also lays out plans for a Conservative Administration to lead on service delivery issues, with more front line staff given the responsibility to deliver.



Conservative Parliamentary candidate, Bob Dalrymple said, “These are the bread and butter issues that Tories are fighting for across Stirling and across Scotland. It is services like waste collection that people write to me about and Labour's failure can be reversed by a Conservative administration in Stirling".
