So let's look at a couple of details on the Conservative leaflet and see if you want to answer them.
I'm looking at Brian Walmsley's leaflet right now - it says
"in 5 short years Conservatives have transformed Labours near-bankrupt council into one that we can all take great pride". Can you please justify the phrase 'near-bankrupt'? What basis is that claim made on?
Energy saving grants - big deal made about this yet isn't this a government initiative which last time I checked was still Labour, so is this Conservative Council claiming credit for something the Government has introduced?

I am currently in Hull so I can't go to the library and research the information in response to the near-bankrupt council. However saying that, I do recall reading that the council reserves were massively in the red, where as now we have a 1.5 or is it 1.8 million pound reserve?
It would be really helpful if you could scan a copy of the leaflet so I could read it in full context in reference to the energy stuff.
