Darwen South Ward with Darwen Conservatives

🚜 A huge thank you to all the farmers who took to London today to protest Labour’s Family Farm Tax! Seeing all those tractors lining Whitehall was absolutely incredible. 👏

This unfair tax will have a devastating impact on farms across Blackburn with Darwen along with our West Pennine Ward and rural Lancashire. 🌾 The Labour government simply doesn’t understand the damage this will cause to our farming communities. ❌

Labour has shamefully betrayed British farmers with The Family Farm Tax. Sign up to stop it.

COME ON BLACKBURN - FIX OUR ROADS!
It's brilliant news that the Government have just given Blackburn Council £117 million to improve transport.
We must make sure that our local roads across Darwen, Edgworth, Chapeltown, Belmont, Hoddlesden, Belthorn, Crowthorne, Pickup Bank, Waterside and Ecceshill get their fair share of this record amount of funding.

Steve and your local Conservative team are supporting a call to return to weekly bin collections. We all pay enough Blackburn in Council Tax we deserve a decent bin collection service.
We would also scrap the 'lane end collections' which are not working and force families in rural areas to use bin compounds that are unsightly and impractical
We would scrap brown bin charges and create a composting service from the green waste to cover the collection cost.
Vote for the team that put the residents needs first.
