FORMER Dudley Council leader Pete Lowe says he and fellow Labour councillors are committed to listening to residents and trying to rebuild trust after the party's slaughtering at the local election last Thursday (May 6).
Cllr Lowe, who represents Lye and Wollescote and has stood for Parliament in Stourbridge as well as throwing his hat in the ring in the early stages of the West Midlands mayoral race, said the pary would work hard to move forwards after the disastrous results which saw a number of long-serving, high-profile and hard-working councillors turfed off the council.
He said: “Labour has heard loud and clear what the results in Dudley and the Black Country have told us. That it’s time for Labour to clean up and reconnect with working families.
