The local elections are about who runs your Council – who collects your bins, looks after the parks, and fixes the roads. Labour currently runs the Council and are the only party locally who has a clear plan to make Merton cleaner, greener, and safer for everyone, whilst keeping bills low.
In politics, records matter, and we are proud of ours.
But we know there is more to do to make our borough the best it can be. That’s why we are making five promises to you to make our borough cleaner, greener, and safer, whilst keeping bills low if Labour is re-elected to run Merton Council on Thursday 7th May…
MAKE MERTON MORE AFFORDABLE
We promise to make Merton more affordable by keeping your Council Tax lower than any neighbouring Liberal Democrat Council and continue to provide value-for-money services.
