Crawley Labour is calling on Henry Smith, Conservative MP for Crawley, to stand up for our town – and insist that our community shouldn’t pay the price for the economic crisis made in Downing Street.
On Wednesday 15th March, funding for vital services will be on the line, with the Conservatives continuing to claim that tough restrictions are necessary to set their own arbitrary spending limits. After 13 years of Austerity, public services cannot afford another round of real-term cuts. To push back against this, Crawley needs a voice in Parliament, speaking up on our behalf.
The Conservatives’ have crashed the economy – and working people in Crawley are already paying the price. Mortgages are up, rents are rising, prices are soaring and the cost of borrowing has gone through the roof. We are all poorer as a result of that catastrophic mistake made to try and deliver unfunded tax cuts for the richest in society. The Bank of England was been forced to intervene and proposals supported by Crawley’s own MP created a multi-billion pound blackhole in the nation’s finances.
None of us voted for this ridiculous failed experiment – and our area shouldn’t be punished for their mistakes. Local services were already under serious strain due to rampant inflation, soaring interest rates, and rising demand. Roads need to be repaired, we have to bring down crime, children need after-school clubs, bins have to be emptied, and streets must be kept clean. We need to build affordable housing, and we need to invest in the support that business needs to thrive.
It’s time that Henry Smith’s actions matched his words and he demanded a better deal for the people he was elected to serve.
