BORIS Johnson last night urged voters to forget Partygate and think about bins and potholes when they go to the polls this week.
He said Tory town halls have consistently ensured council tax payers get good value for money.
And he suggested they should not use Thursday’s local elections to deliver a verdict on the Westminster government.
The PM said people should vote on how often bins are emptied, how many potholes are repaired and how much council tax is paid.
He declared: “I have to tell you that its hardworking Conservative councillors and councils across the country who deliver better local services while managing taxpayers’ money wisely.
“Not only do Conservative councils on average fix four times as many pestilent potholes as Labour councils, they recycle more of your rubbish than Labour too. And it’s Conservatives who have been supporting our high streets and small businesses as we bounce back from Covid.”

Mr Johnson claimed Tory-run councils charge the lowest council tax anywhere in the country while residents of his “old stomping ground” of Kingston upon Thames are charged the highest by “profligate” Lib Dems.
He added: “Pity the good people of Croydon, where Labour have bankrupted the council, or Hammersmith, who’s Labour council spent tens of thousands of taxpayers money on EU flags and ‘proud members of the EU’ banners – three years after we voted to Leave.
“The choice on May 5 is clear. Labour and Lib Dems who fritter away your council tax on deciding which statues to tear down or Conservatives, delivering value for money and delivering on your local priorities.”
