On May 6 voters will choose their preferred candidates for Stroud District Council, Gloucestershire County Council, the Gloucestershire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and parish councils (if contested). We asked each party fielding multiple candidates to write why residents should vote for them. My criticism of the current Labour led Green and Liberal Democrat Coalition is not about what they have done but what they haven’t. Despite boasting they are a Carbon Neutral Council, they conveniently forget to mention that this didn’t include their own housing stock. It is over 2 years since we all declared a Climate Emergency and yet there is no plan for addressing the Carbon impact of the 5,000 homes owned by the Council. The plan is not due until September and there is no budget identified to support this.
