keep up to date with the latest news.
In light of the
General Election, we’ve been working hard on your behalf with the Labour policy
team who are drafting the manifesto. We have written to them, to set out the
key policy pledges that we want the manifesto to commit to. We have also
published a briefing that sets out the key commitments
we want adopted in order to help all parts of local government better support
our communities and deliver on the challenges facing the nation. If you have
any key figures from the Party in your patch hopefully you'll be able to
restate our lines in your discussions with them.
