When the Conservatives won the local elections in May there was no mention in their manifesto that huge cuts would be made to frontline services.

The Conservatives once again fooled the voters. Mike Fisher, the Conservative leader, claims there is a £37million black hole in Croydon's finances.

This, however, is due to the Conservatives' mismanagement. Voters must try to remember that under the last Conservative government public services were cut, interest rates were a massive 15 per cent, homes were repossessed and unemployment was more than three million.

In future elections my support will be for the Labour Party.
