North West Leicestershire District Council leader Conservative Richard Blunt is facing High Court action from a defeated opponent over whether or not he was actually qualified to stand.

Prudent calls by Labour for a council tax freeze were rejected today by the Conservatives who control Lincolnshire County Council. The Tories decided to demand an extra 1.75 per cent from every council tax payer in Lincolnshire. The last thing Lincolnshire people who are struggling to pay their bills need is another Tory tax hike. But the Tories weren't listening. Labour demonstrated how serv...

This is a public service announcement. Please help. ***MISSING IN ACTION*** In the wake of David Cameron's announcement that any Conservative tax cuts will be paid for by reducing the rate of government spending and eradicating waste, the Labour Party has still yet to accuse the Tories of "a lurch to the right". This cliched phrase - beloved of the Labour Party in the equal measure to such ge...

Labour's plan for a zero increase in the council tax paid by Bromley residents was rejected by Bromley Tories at Monday night's council meeting.
