Liberal Democrats in Hemel are tonight celebrating a big gain in votes in Adeyfield West. Their candidate Steve Wilson saw the Lib Dem vote gain on a 10.95% swing from Labour. The result was a disaster for Labour whose vote has traditionally been strong in the area. While the Lib Dems went up 8.1% from 2007, Labour fell by 13.3%, and the Conservatives fell by 8.6%.
Chris Bramall , prospective Liberal Democrat candidate for the Stourbridge constituency (Stourbridge, Quarry Bank, Cradley and Dudley Wood) has signed up to the 10:10 campaign. This is a promise to reduce personal carbon emissions by 10% in 2010 in order that thousands of individuals and organisations, working together, can achieve a 10% reduction of the UK's carbon emissions in 2010.
The case for the Liberal Democrats
The Conservative-run council has delayed the local parking review again! We hear it will be late April before residents will have their say.
It has been announced that the 81/82 service, which was under threat, has been saved.
Serious concerns have been raised about Conservative plans for an £8,000 payment for residential care after figures released today by the Liberal Democrats have revealed that 3.5m pensioner households (66%) do not have assets of £8,000 excluding their homes.
