We pay tribute as an Association to Margaret Thatcher, thrice elected a Conservative prime minister, radical reformer and the towering figure of the age. As a shaping force in British politics, economy and society, Margaret Thatcher was the most potent and transformative prime minister of the 20th century. She remains the figure against whom all successive British leaders should be measured.
Conservative Group Leader Cllr Peter Golds has unearthed a shocking waste of taxpayers money by Mayor Lutfur Rahman and his independent group. They have racked up literally thousands of pounds of our money on totally unnecessary taxi fares.

They obviously have no regard for the fact that it is NOT their money they are spending but OURS!
