Labour accuse Wirral Tories of misleading public over council tax vote

Wirral's Conservatives have been accused of misleading the public over how they voted on a recent Council Tax rise.

Labour's candidate for the Greasby, Frankby, and Irby seat in next month's elections Mark Skillicorn said Conservatives were “keen to mislead the public” referring to a newsletter distributed by Conservative candidates David Fairbairn, Darren May and councillor Tracy Elzeiny.

In the letter, Cllr Elzeiny said: “I could not support such a tax rise when residents cannot even get grass verges cut or their roads and pavements maintained” under a headline “Library Saved and Tax Rise Opposed.”
