Woking Lib Dems welcome the Coalition Government's new deal on council housing. Under this new deal, local councils like Woking will be allowed to keep their tenants' rents - and the money they make from selling council houses - instead of having to hand over much of this cash to Whitehall. It could free up funds for repairs and, possibly, new council houses.
Commenting on reports that the replacement of Britain's Trident nuclear missile system is to be delayed by five years, former leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Menzies Campbell said:
Encouraging news was received by Cllr Karen Chilvers and Cllr David Kendall at their visit to the Highways Agency in Bedford last week to discuss the increase in noise experienced by those living adjacent to the A12 in the Homesteads. They took the opportunity to present the 100-signature petition and survey responses from local residents in the Homesteads area, which demonstrated the depth of feeling about the increased noise levels they are suffering following the raising of the road six years ago.
Wednesfield South Liberal Democrats are delivering an Autumn edition of Focus. The main stories are: Oli Williams is standing up for Wednesfield, parking problem near local school, bogus callers, City centre free bus.
The announcement of the delay in the decision on replacing Trident marks a success for Liberal Democrats.
Each day since the General Election the Coalition Government has had to borrow an extra £400 million. That's because for every £300 coming in the government is spending £400.
