We understand that times are hard and that family budgets are being stretched but we are doing what we can to help whilst staying on the safe course to economic recovery. Unlike Labour we are taking the tough decisions needed to sort out our nation’s finances to ensure that our generation’s debt is not left for our children and grandchildren to pay off.

Council tax freeze. We have extended our council tax freeze for a second year saving residents up to £70 for the year on an average Band D Bill.

Keeping interest rates low. Our clear and credible plan is keeping interest rates low to help you with the cost of your mortgage.

Helping with the cost of your commute. We are putting in £105 million to limit the rise in your rail fares.

Cutting Fuel Duty. We have cancelled Labour’s fuel escalator and cut duty. This means that from April petrol duty will be a full 10 pence lower than it would been without our action.
