A joint statement from the leaders of political parties in Shropshire Council
Shropshire Council Elections
The national political news is clearly poisonous and threatens to undermine public confidence in elected politicians.
We condemn the behaviour of many of our national MPs and in doing so wish to state that we recognise none of this in local politics in Shropshire. In our long years in local government politics in Shropshire, councillors and candidates from our parties have overwhelmingly wanted to do good for their communities. They may have had different ideas on how to achieve this and some members may have been more effective than others.  However, the objective has been honourable: working for the best public service for our communities.
The Shropshire Council elections on June 4th are historic. The outcome will make a real difference. Your local councillor is undoubtedly able to show you dozens of ways in which he/she has achieved improvements, locally, for individuals, the community and for Shropshire as a whole.
We urge everyone to turn out and vote on June 4th. Your Council and its members make a real difference in the community.
