South Gloucestershire Conservatives
Welcome to the online home of South Gloucestershire Conservatives. The 2011 local elections saw the Conservatives increase its number of councillors and gaining areas such as Bitton, Bradley Stoke North and Pilning & Severn Beach. The elections saw the Liberal Democrats virtually wiped out, coming third in many areas, and they now have their smallest ever number of Councillors on South Glos.
In the last 4 years the Conservative-run council has made huge progress, investing in local schools and leisure facilities, whilst keeping council tax down by reducing waste and inefficiency.
We made a promise four years ago to work with you and for you to make South Gloucestershire the best possible place to live and work in. Four years on, we renew that promise. Conservatives have a proven record of action locally and we are promising you more in the future.
South Glos Conservative leader, John Calway, commented, “Our newly enlarged Conservative Group is promising to work with residents to deliver even better value for money, make our district even greener, safer and more prosperous by strengthening our local economy and investing in our schools so our children have the best possible start in life.”
