Central to their vision is a voluntary Citizens Investment Fund, inviting residents to contribute £50 or more towards enhancing local amenities. This innovative approach aims to foster a stronger sense of ownership and pride among Dudley residents. Alongside this, the party is advocating for greater devolution—transferring more decision-making powers to the local level to ensure community needs are met more effectively.https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/dudley-council-election-candidates-ready-for-fierce-battle-as-polling-day-approaches/Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/dudley-council-election-candidates-ready-for-fierce-battle-as-polling-day-approaches/As May 7 draws near, Dudley’s political landscape is heating up with intense competition set to determine the borough’s leadership for the coming year.
