FIGHTING LABOUR’S

NEW TAX ON DRIVING

The Labour Mayor of London wants to charge you

£12.50 to drive across the A406. Our Labour

Council wants to charge you to drive anywhere in

our Borough.

Despite falling emissions over the last ten years,

Labour politicians in London, including Waltham

Forest’s Labour Councillors, are behind plans to

charge you £12.50 every day you drive your car.

This will hit older people who will be charged to drive

to Whipps Cross, and people in low paid jobs who

can’t afford to change their vehicles. There’s also no

“residents’ exemption” so all non-exempt vehicles will

be charged.

London Conservatives oppose these plans. The cost

of installing cameras is almost £1bn and the Mayor’s

office have confirmed this will actually make

pollution worse near the North Circular Road through

Chingford and Highams Park.

Conservatives would tackle pollution by changing the

REJECT LABOUR’S NEW TAX ON DRIVING

VOTE CONSERVATIVE ON MAY 3rd

Chingford Mount clearly isn’t a priority

for our Labour Council.

They tried to take away our 15 minutes free

parking in 2016, but Conservative

Councillors organised a petition which

attracted over 6,000 signatures - Labour

dropped their plans

We have worked hard with Love South

Chingford to bring the French and Italian

markets here and we helped organise the

Night Feast market last year.

We are really pleased we also now have a

regular Saturday market at the Mount.

We want to boost local trade with a “shop

local” loyalty card scheme to encourage

more people to use their local shops and

we want on-street parking to be free for 30

minutes. We will fight for this to be

extended to the Hall Lane car park as well.

This will give a real boost to our shops,

businesses and the markets.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE CONSERVATIVE

WE OPPOSE LABOUR’S NEW TAXES ON DRIVING Labour want to charge you £12.50 to drive anywhere in Waltham Forest. We want to see

pollution tackled with cleaner buses, more electric vehicle charging points, air-cleaning

technology, more trees and fewer diesel vehicles.

WE SUPPORT 30 MINUTES FREE PARKING FOR OUR TOWN CENTRES We got you 15 Minutes Free Parking and saved it when Labour tried to take it away. Now we

want to see it extended to 30 minutes, on-street and in Council car parks. This will boost

trade in our local shops and support local businesses.

WE WILL REPAIR ALL OUR ROADS AND PAVEMENTS Within two years we will re-surface or properly repair every road and pavement that needs it.

We will not spend another penny on Mini-Holland projects until this is done.

WE WILL BUILD GENUINELY AFFORDABLE HOMES We will hold developers to their promises and deliver homes to rent and buy at genuinely

affordable prices and rents.

CONSERVATIVES OFFER COUNCIL TAX FREEZE Waltham Forest Labour just put your Council Tax up by 5%

YOUR LARKSWOOD CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES JOHN MOSS @John_J_C_Moss John has been your Councillor since 2012. He has led campaigns against taking

away 15 Minutes Free Parking and the closure of the Social Services Hub in Hall

Lane. He is a surveyor and regularly sits on the Planning Committee, where he has

voted against developments with no affordable housing and inadequate parking.

CATHERINE SAUMAREZ @CatSaumarez Catherine is a cellist who played for more than ten years with Britain’s leading

Orchestras. She now teaches at a number of schools across London. She has

helped secure funding for an organic garden and social space at a local Council

estate and wans to help improve our green spaces, enhance music provision in

the Borough and work to improve conditions for local businesses.

SELINA SEESUNKUR @selinathinks Selina has over 10 years’ public sector experience managing services like park-

ing, roads and markets. A former member of the Love South Chingford Group she

wants to put South Chingford on the map with events like the Night Feast,

which she brought to Chingford Mount. She is the inspiration for the “shop local”

loyalty scheme we want to bring to Chingford.

OUR WORK AROUND LARKSWOOD WARD

Supporting new residents and

businesses

We have helped new

residents with

problems like building

defects and heating

costs, organising two

meetings with L&Q.

We also helped Cuma

in the café sort out his Business Rates.

We’re still appalled Labour Councillors

have let L&Q off their promise to open

the Sports Centre for so long.

Speaking out against

inappropriate

development

Labour want to build a

six storey building in

Lena Kennedy Close

with 47 extra homes

but little parking. This

isn’t right for this site and will make

existing parking problems worse.

Conservative Councillors supported

family houses with gardens and parking,

but Labour rejected this.

Protecting our heritage

The Ropers Field

Conservation Area is a

fine example of post-

WW2 Council Housing.

We got the windows

replaced in the Council

homes and have advised

residents on what they

can do to improve their homes.

Conservative Councillors will always

protect the character of our area.

Protecting Services

for Older People in

Chingford

When Labour

threatened to evict

Age UK and other

charities from the

South Chingford Hub,

Conservative Councillors stepped in.

Over 1,500 people signed our petition

and we think it is safe for the time being.

But we can’t be sure it is safe under

Labour. Another reason to vote for a

Strong Conservative Opposition

Improving Access to

Ainslie and Larks

woods

When Tesco was built

in Highams Park, over

£100,000 was set

aside to improve the

Ainslie and Larks

woods. Conservatives are working with

the Council officers and the Friends of

Ainslie and Larks Woods to see this

money spent to help open up access to

less able-bodied people and to clear and

clean up the woods.

CONSERVATIVE COUNCILLORS

WORK FOR ALL OF YOU

ALL OF THE TIME

VOTE CONSERVATIVE on the 3rd of MAY

Conservative Councillors found savings in the budget which

would have spared you 60% of this increase, without affecting

front-line services. Labour Councillors voted it through anyway.

Our plans would have saved money by;

housing more people in long-term rental homes rather

than expensive bed and breakfast accommodation

using the fees collected from Landlord Licensing, rather

than hoarding this in reserves

reducing publicity spending by £150,000

reducing the spending on expensive consultants, and

budgeting better so very large contingencies were not

needed.

LABOUR REJECTED THESE SAVINGS It’s your money that

Labour are wasting!
