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.
