Nuthall East and Strelley By-Election - The Fight to Stop Labour and Reform Joining Forces!
"Nottingham City Council has been accused of planning a "land grab" as parts of Nottinghamshire could be split in two under new boundary shake-up proposals. The Labour-run authority insists that its latest plans, which could effectively double the population size of Nottingham, are about trying to replace "out of date boundaries".
A new map has revealed the current areas of Nottinghamshire that would effectively be split in two under the city council's plans. Rushcliffe would be split straight down the middle, with the A46 seemingly being used as the dividing line to separate areas to the left that would merge with the city and those to the right that would be left behind." - Evening Post

It would mean Bingham and scores of small Rushcliffe villages like Tithby and Colston Bassett would be part of a new county council, whilst areas like West Bridgford, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Ruddington and Keyworth would join the city, plus Broxtowe and Gedling??
Councillor Neil Clarke, the Conservative leader of Rushcliffe Borough Council, said: "What they're doing is cherry picking all the good council tax paying areas and the money from their land grab can be used to pay off their debts.
Councillor Sam Smith, Nottinghamshire Conservative Leader recently explained in this interview his views to Marcus Jones Conservative Chairman for Nottingham, how it could be considered without giving the debt from the Labour City Council to other areas:

"There is no doubt that residents across the region do not want to be added to a city council who cannot control their spending and are in special measures for over spending by 42million and questionable use of funding towards projects." - Marcus Jones
Over the last few weeks, our volunteers have been campaigning for the Nuthall East and Strelley By-Election. We had the very great pleasure of welcoming Deputy Party Chairman Matt Vickers MP to Nottingham on Saturday morning for a very successful and well attended campaign session. During our campaigning we have had some great conversations on boundary changes, protecting the green belt and opposing more HMOs in the Ward. It is clear that Judith our candidate has lots of support in the Ward.
"What is supper clear, is the feeling that Broxtowe residents are being sold out to by Reform and Labour Party candidates, rather than hold the City Council to account".
Thank you to everyone who came out to help in our campaign to get Judith Couch elected and to the Conservative County Councillors who will be delivering many of our leaflets throughout the ward for the Conservative Campaign, we know that we speak for the majority on the boundary issue that face the whole of the region.
