The political conference season is over, which for most people will be a blessed relief. But with the economy struggling and unemployment rising, the need for a change is growing.


The economy is critical and that's why at the Conference, Conservatives outlined how they will aim to tackle the mess we're in.


There are a number of key pledges for council tax payers, business, first time buyers and pensioners:

  • - freeze council tax for two years
  • - introduce a £50bn National Loan Guarantee Scheme to underwrite bank lending to businesses and get credit flowing again
  • - provide tax cuts for new jobs with a £2.6bn package of tax breaks to get people into work
  • - abolish Stamp Duty for nine out of ten first-time buyers
  • - raise the Inheritance Tax threshold to £1 million
  • - cut the main rate of corporation tax to 25p and the small companies' rate to 20p
Policies like these will have a positive impact not just nationally but on the people and businesses in Chiswick, Brentford, Isleworth, Osterley & Hounslow and I'd urge you to find out more about our economic plans by clicking on the link below.
