What the Manifestos Say - General Election 2017

Now that all the national parties have published their manifestos we have produced a series of documents with the key commitments that will be of interest to councils.


Our What the Manifestos Say documents list the policy pledges from the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, UKIP and Greens, grouped by eight different policy areas. They are designed to provide handy guides.
