Two votes.

Full statement

Real issues. Real results.
In the upcoming local elections, you will have TWO votes in the Loggerheads ward. This is a
genuine opportunity to make your mark and elect local representatives who will stand up for
this community.
Your Conservative candidates - Graham Sedgley and Andrew Turnock - are committed to
Loggerheads and understand the issues that matter most to residents here. They are
campaigning on the things that directly affect your quality of life:
Standing up for our rural communities.
Residents across Loggerheads, Ashley and the surrounding villages are rightly concerned
about increasing pressure from speculative housing developments that threaten the character
of our rural communities. Our candidates will fight for a strong Local Plan that protects our
villages from inappropriate development, safeguards our countryside, and ensures that any
future growth is genuinely supported by infrastructure and shaped by local people rather than
imposed from outside.
Fixing our roads and tackling potholes.
Poor road conditions and potholes have become a growing frustration for residents and
motorists across our area. Roads and pavements are deteriorating and repairs have not
always been carried out when they should be. Our candidates will continue pushing
Staffordshire County Council for long-overdue highway improvements, ensuring potholes are

everyone who relies on them every day.
Protecting local decision-making.
Many residents are concerned about proposals that would merge local councils into larger,
more remote authorities. Decisions affecting our villages should be made locally by people
who understand the area, not by distant bureaucracies. Our candidates will continue to stand
up for local accountability, protecting the independence of our borough and ensuring that the
voices of residents in Loggerheads and the surrounding villages continue to be heard.
Graham and Andrew are pragmatic, principled local people – focused on results that make a
real difference to everyday life in Loggerheads, not empty promises.
