Local Elections 2026: Counting the cost of the 'Boriswave'
Nationally, the Conservative party promised to reduce immigration in four consecutive election manifestos. What transpired under the last Conservative government was the greatest betrayal in the country’s history, writes a Reform spokesperson
Under the “Boriswave”, 2.6million net migrants were added to the UK population between 2021 and 2024 with most expected to gain indefinite right of settlement. This was a deliberate importation of unprecedented numbers of
low-wage, high dependency people due to the Conservatives relaxing entry rules, lowering salary thresholds and removing caps on non-European workers.
The “Boriswave” will cost taxpayers £622billion in real terms by 2085, roughly £20,000 per household.
Maria Pinotes is the Reform Uk candidate for Fletton and Stanground. Maria has lived in the Fletton and Stanground ward for many years and understands the local issues concerning residents. She would be proud to represent you on the Council.
“I love Peterborough. Fletton and Stanground are fantastic areas of the City with a great community spirit. However, Peterborough, Fletton and Stanground could be so much better if the Council was operated more efficiently, stopped wasting your money and addressed the priorities many neighbours and residents have raised with me.
“I will push for quicker reporting and proper repairs of Potholes and holding the Council accountability for maintaining our roads to a decent standard. I will ensure priority is given to addressing anti-social behaviour and support initiatives to reduce crime in the Fletton and Stanground wards. I will protect local assets such as the Stanground library and ensure the ward grows, prospers and improves”.
You may recall that these elections are only taking place in Peterborough because Reform UK took legal action against the Government to have their cancellation overturned.
There was absolutely no valid case whatsoever to postpone these elections so when casting your vote, please remember Reform is the only party you can absolutely trust to support democracy and will always protect the electorate’s right to vote.
Please vote Reform if you wish to see:

Better public services, more attractive City Centre and Safer Communities
Businesses supported with more jobs being created
Less crime and prioritising of crime reduction initiatives
