A leading Local Liberal Democrat has today signed a pledge to voters ahead of the forthcoming general election that he will vote against any increase in student tuition fees in the next parliament.
Statement from Cllr David Bill: "Having taken the advice of doctors, I have come to the conclusion that the time has come to hand over the leadership of the Council and the Liberal Democrat group. It has been a great honour to serve in this capacity and I wish to thank everyone for their support over the years and indeed all the kind wishes I received during my recent illness. I will, of course, continue to play an active role as a member of both the County and Borough Councils and will do my best to continue to serve the people of the area."
County councillors have thrown out plans to put a waste composting site in Fenny Drayton.
MAKING sure neighbourhoods are kept clean and free from crime and anti-social behaviour remain the top priorities for residents of the Borough.
I would like to correct the inaccurate spin contained in comments from local Conservative Councillors in last weeks paper about the Council's action towards anti-social behaviour. Tackling anti-social behaviour always has been and will always remain a top priority for the Lib Dem administration. The motion at the last Council meeting from the Conservative Party was no more than political grandstanding and in my view a sick and desperate attempt to make cheap political capital out of the recent tragic Pilkington Case.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to rebuilding the trust and compassion that the UK was once known for. We believe that our country has a responsibility to support those in need, no matter where they are in the world.
For too long, years of neglect and mismanagement by the previous Conservative Government have pushed our prison system into a deep crisis.
The Liberal Democrats have long championed proportional representation, advocating for a voting system where every vote truly counts. We believe that reforming our electoral system is crucial for a fairer democracy and better governance.
