Press Releases
Keep updated with the latest news locally, media coverage and news from Parliament.
"Only labour will build 200,000 more homes a year by 2020, is committed to affordable housing and will scrap the bedroom tax."
"It was wonderful to meet so many local residents on Saturday at the Labour Street Stalls in Walsall Town Centre and Darlaston Town Centre. I was with former Cllr Bill Madeley, Cllr Keith Chambers, Cllr Ian Robertson and Cllr Doug James on the stall."
"The Government’s cuts have disproportionately affected women. Labour's manifesto outlines plans to tackle the gender pay gap and enable child-minding grandparents time off work."
"Labour has announced our education manifesto, A Better Plan for Education, which sees every teenager getting guaranteed one-to-one advice to plot their pathway to work."
"When I visited Dalkeith Street last week residents told me about the litter and the fly-tipping. Thanks to local activist Shokt Fiasal and Cllr Khizar Hussein, Walsall Council agreed to a super clean. The Clean and Green Service did a fantastic job of tidying up and clearing the street. This is what a Labour Council can do for residents. A Labour Government will ensure that locally raised income will stay with Councils. The average cut in the spending power of Walsall Council by the Coalition Government is £140.34 per household."
