Public sector funding is being slashed by the Conservative & Lib Dem
government in London, which threatens the many important services
local Councils provide. A Labour controlled Council would commit to
protect the following services valued by the public. Labour candidates
in the upcoming election have committed to the following pledges;
1. PROTECTING & CREATING LOCAL JOBS
'A MODERN APPRENTICE SCHEME'
The Council is one of the only local
authorities in Wales not to cut local jobs.
A Labour controlled Council would commit
to a modern apprentice scheme, which
would create traineeships for young
people aged 16-24 in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
2. SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES
'COMMUNITY WARDENS TO PATROL OUR
STREETS'
In addition to the extra Community
Support Officers provided by the Labour
Welsh Government, a Labour controlled
Council would create a dedicated team of
Community Rangers to patrol our parks
and town centres.
3. IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENT
'ZERO TOLERANCE TO LITTER & DOG
FOULING'
Labour in Rhondda Cynon Taf already has
a strong track record of tackling envirocrimes
such as littering, fly-tipping & dog
fouling. A Labour controlled Council will
commit to the creation of dedicated local
enforcement to tackle this nuisance with
a zero tolerance approach.
4. IMPROVING EDUCATION STANDARDS
‘INVESTMENT IN NEW SCHOOLS &
FACILITIES’
In addition to the extra funding being
provided by the Labour Welsh
Government, the Council will commit to
further investment for improvements in
standards but also in new school
buildings and facilities.
5. CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS IN
HIGHWAYS
'EXTRA FUNDING FOR RESURFACING,
POTHOLES & PAVEMENTS'
In the last year alone, Labour in Rhondda
Cynon Taf has invested an additional
£10M to improve our main roads and
streets. Labour would commit to continue
this additional investment and also
include extra pavement improvements.
