Westmorland & Lonsdale MP Tim Farron has said that local people should feel encouraged to continue in the fight to save the heart and stroke units at the Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal after their success in winning concessions from the trust boards as part of their Acute Services Review.
Commenting on the issue of the redevelopment of Bedford Town Centre, Bedford Borough Liberal Democrat Group Leader Cllr Michael Headley said:
Liberal Democrats in Bedford & Kempston have slammed Labour MP, Patrick Hall, for voting against a call in Parliament for an independent inquiry into the Iraq war and occupation.
Earlier this year Park Ward Liberal Democrats launched a petition calling on Wolverhampton City Council to initiate kerb side collection of plastics for recycling. Councillor Robin Lawrence has now learned that that it will be at least one more year before any sort of regular city wide collection of plastics for recycling is introduced. A spokesman for "Enterprise", the privatised waste-collection service used by the council, told Councillor Lawrence that there could be a small-scale trial of plastics collection taking place by April 2008 but he could not confirm where such a trial might be taking place.
Shepway residents are being urged to be on their guard after a Dymchurch man was cold called and was asked if he wanted his driveway tarmacked. He refused initially but the caller pressured him into agreeing. He was told he would only be able to pay cash.
How good it is to see our outgoing MP, Michael Howard, support a decision granting leave to a Gurkha to stay in our country. It is only right that we support a man who fought for our country and Tul Bahadur Pun VC deserves our sincerest gratitude. It is a sign of our thanks and recognition of his bravery that Tul should be allowed to come here.
