Labour is promising voters extra support for home insulation and subsidised bus routes if they take power in the upcoming local election. Voters will head to the polls on Thursday, May 4, to choose who should run South Gloucestershire Council.
The Labour party is currently the third largest party on the council and could play an influential role if the Conservatives lose their narrow majority of five seats. The group’s deputy leader, Councillor Ian Boulton, pledged to support renters to cut heating bills.
The Labour group’s current leader, Cllr Pat Rooney, is stepping down at this election after 30 years on the council. In an interview ahead of the election, Cllr Boulton set out his party’s five key pledges, including a new minor injuries unit and action on climate change.
