More Damage to Stricken Hippodrome

More Damage to Stricken Hippodrome...

Another fire struck the Hippodrome yesterday – how long can we leave this listed building to rot in the centre of our city? Something has to be done.  Under Conservative proposals it will be easier for communities to form Community Land Trusts so that local people can come together to stop this kind of decay from setting in.   We need to do somethign together but first we need to change this failing government.

David Cameron Backs Sure Start in Derby and Beyond...

Today, the Conservative Party have set out how we will help the poorest families in society.   David Cameron shared a platform with the thoughtful Labour MP Frank Field.  He has explained how we will keep Sure Start, and how we will strengthen it by recruiting 4,200 new Sure Start health visitors to provide universal support to families with children under five and a more effective way of reaching out to the most vulnerable...

Big Eric...

Last Thursday I was delighted to listen to the Chairman of the Conservative Party, Eric Pickles, discuss the future should the people of the United Kingdom elect a Conservative government. The thing that really delighted me was the passion with which he talked about being a party for everyone.  We cannot afford to be a party for the white middle classes.  Everyone has to see the benefit of a Conservative revolution. ...

Voluntary Sector

Voluntary Sector...

We want to see a transformation in the role of community groups, social enterprises and the voluntary sector to help build a stronger society for all of us. A Conservative Government would create a more supportive environment for philanthropy and volunteering, reduce the bureaucracy faced by charities and voluntary groups, and enable them to earn a return on any investment they make in providing public services. We would...

Local Government

Local Government...

We are the largest party of local government in Britain, with almost 10,000 councillors across Britain. Conservative councils are greener, helping to improve the local environment and protect green spaces in our towns and villages. They are safer, fighting the crime, anti-social behaviour, vandalism and graffiti that ruin people’s quality of life. And, at a time when people are being hit by the economic downturn, they...

Immigration

Immigration...

Immigration can be a real benefit to the UK, but only if it is properly controlled with its impact on the economy, public services and social cohesion taken into account.   Our approach will ensure that we admit both the right people for our economy and also the right number of people. For economic migrants from outside the EU, we propose a two-stage process: The first stage is making eligible for admission those who...

Housing

Housing...

We need more homes – but they must be built in a way that protects the environment and provides the infrastructure to support local communities. That’s why local people need to decide where new homes should go, instead of Whitehall bureaucrats. And that’s why we will use incentives to encourage new homes to be built, rather than letting unelected quangos impose unsustainable development on communities. Labour’s...

Health

Health...

Few things matter more to our country than the NHS – it’s an institution that binds the nation together. And a Conservative Government will work tirelessly to earn the trust of the patients and staff of the NHS. We will always provide the funding the NHS needs and are committed to real increases in health spending We will scrap Labour’s plans to cut A&E and maternity services, which are not supported by...

Family

Family...

A strong and stable family provides children with the security and affection they need. By supporting the family, we can increase opportunity and ensure everyone has the best possible start in life. Our ambition is to make Britain the most family-friendly country in the world. Our efforts to reduce educational inequality, end child poverty and tackle crime will be undermined if we do not support families. So a Conservative...
