"A GOVERNMENT OF MILLIONAIRES FOR MILLIONAIRES"

So said Erewash Labour Leader Howard Griffiths when he described the CON/DEM Coalition at a recent Erewash Borough Council meeting.
Their latest plans to force up Social Housing rents and VAT will hit low earners hardest and increase the working poor.
The ending of secure tenancies for new tenants will destabilise hard working families and cause unnecessary worry to people when they are threatened with eviction.
"Ripping off tenants to placate the money markets is not my idea of fairness and together with the hike in VAT to 20% pensioners and people on fixed incomes will be hit worst of all. So much for "We are all in it together" a phrase much used by the Con-Dem Government." said Councillor Howard Griffiths. "What we have is not a Coalition Government, it's a Demolition Government.

He added, "the Con-Dems callous cuts will push us back into recession, increase unemployment and crush small businesses. Erewash will be harder hit than most areas because locally the Conservative controlled Council has sat on its hands and done virtually nothing to create local jobs.
