Across the range of priorities you have highlighted, it is the Conservatives providing the answers, including:
- Cutting the bulk of the budget deficit within 5 years.
- Cutting wasteful and excessive state spending, to reverse Labour's NI tax on jobs.
- Cutting the main and small business rate of corporation tax - to promote job-creation.
- Giving local authorities a greater share of the revenue from business rates, to invest in local business growth.
- Freezing Council Tax for 2 years.
- Scrapping stamp duty for first-time buyers on homes up to £250k.
- Changing the 'funding formula', so Elmbridge's taxpayers get a fairer deal back from the Treasury to fund local public services.
- Cutting Whitehall targets and NHS managers, to make local health services more accountable to local communities.
- Freeing parents, faith groups and community organisations to set up good new local schools - with state funding, but not all the bureaucracy.
- Cutting police red-tape, so officers spend more time on the street.
- Supporting local community groups - like Hersham Youth center, and Sunbury and Walton Sea Cadets - providing positive activities for youngsters.
- Scrapping top-down housing targets, and strengthening local democracy, to preserve our greenbelt.
- Opposing a 3rd runway at Heathrow.
(Sample survey size: 101 respondents.)
