Trafford Labour have mismanaged our council into financial ruin, and now they’re making you pay for it. Instead of being honest with residents, they’ve gone behind closed doors to strike a deal with Angela Rayner—making Trafford one of just six councils imposing a massive 7.49% council tax hike this May.
That means adding hundreds of pounds more on your bill, without even giving you a say. Labour should have held a referendum, but instead, they chose secrecy. Worse still, they’re borrowing just to cover daily expenses, digging us deeper into debt. Enough is enough—it’s time to hold them accountable.
Now, they’re blaming their failures on the Labour Government’s National Insurance increase, claiming it has cost them millions. But why should you carry the cost of Labour’s incompetence?
And let’s not forget—just 18 months ago, Labour, Greens, and Lib Dems awarded themselves a 40% pay rise, with Green councillors saying it wasn’t enough!
We have sent a letter to Trafford Labour Leader Cllr Tom Ross, demanding his resignation. No leader should remain in post after overseeing such financial chaos.
