You wouldn’t credit it would you? whilst in opposition the Labour Group on Walsall Council was highly critical of a number of initiatives instigated by the Lib Dem/Tory Coalition administration.

Just over a month into the new Labour administration and we see Labour cabinet members in the local press saying how “delighted” they are at the progress of those initiatives they were so critical of; issues such as:

• The Primark store and The Old Square Shopping Centre redevelopment
• Bloxwich Leisure Centre
• Pothole Velocity Patching
• Walsall Town Centre Shops policy
• Expanded Street Cleaning Scheme

Now they are in power they can’t wait to take the credit for the work oof others.

At the same time they are staying silent about the proposals of the Labour Crime Commissioner to close a number of Police Stations across Walsall and the Black Country the one in Willenhall  being one of those singled out for closure.

The new Labour administration is also making noises about stopping the Council Tax Support Grant, something that Liberal Democrats in the Coalition administration had fought to keep.

If Labour carry out this threat then some of the most disadvantaged children in the borough will be plunged into poverty. What kind of Labour Party is this?
