After months of dithering, our Labour Council are finally getting the Wednesfield development underway. With a third of the budget squandered on paperwork, we will hold their feet to the fire to ensure the rest of the money is spent prudently. https://t.co/4KDpU3CURU

Henry Carver is absolutely right. When businesses have to turn to the media because the Council won't listen, we know that the leadership isn't fit for purpose. Only the Conservatives will listen to businesses, and rebuild Wolverhampton. https://t.co/vBpILvHgC4

We sent a letter to the Leader of the Council last week, asking for harsher penalties for utility firms who continually force road works. Just five days later, the Council announces that they are addressing the issue. Sound convenient? That's because it is.

We stand firmly with Bilston traders. With levy payers rightly questioning value for money and effectiveness, it's encouraging that action is now being taken. Accountability matters, and Bilston's traders deserve better. https://t.co/UfymMWPa8p

We all understand that people want to try and get ahead in life, but this is most definitely not the way to go about it. With Angela Rayner's comments towards ministers who have done similar acts in the past, it's no wonder that she has had to go today. https://t.co/igZDH0WCwN
