Some of the most vulnerable people in the County have been let down by Labour and their Independent ally. The looked after children’s service at County Hall has received a 1 star (out of 4) rating and is officially classed as inadequate. This is a scandal. After 28 years in control Labour, who are currently propped up and supported by Fylde’s Independent Councillor, have failed in it’s primary duty – to care for children who are vulnerable. The Ofsted report says “The most recent inspection of the fostering service judged it to be inadequate and the service remains in breach of regulations”
It’s time for a change and only the Conservatives can deliver that change. The Conservatives had measures to address this by adding £5 million to the Children’s Fund. This was voted down by Labour and the Independent of Fylde East. In fact her latest leaflet states she was proud to support Labour.
THE FIGHT to tackle local flooding problems received a blow last month as the County Council blocked plans to deal with blocked gulleys and drains around Lancashire. The plans had been put together after residents in Kirkham highlighted problem drains and gulleys in their community. We’re seeing more and more problems with flooding, roads being blocked and pavements impassable. The County Council should have backed the plans to deal with this. The plan was blocked by Labour and our own local Independent County Councillor who voted together.
