Jon Pitchfork, Branch Chairman, commented "All around us we can see the result of decades of waste, poor decision making, and all too often, corruption.

"Areas where elections have been cancelled also happen to be strong Reform UK areas. But on May 1, voters in Staffordshire will have possibly the last opportunity, due to devolution, to vote for county councillors who will make key decisions about their local area.

"It’s time to bring back honesty, transparency and common sense to local decision making.

"It’s time for reform, it’s time for Reform UK.”
