Mr Gerry Evans, Chairman of Grantham & Stamford constituency party and member of Stamford Sports & Leisure Group, spoke at the recent Stamford Local Area Forum on July 17th calling for a proper laned competition sized pool in Stamford. This need was highlighted by the major petition and survey carried out in Stamford by the Sports & Leisure group earlier this year.
Diary
At Stamford's Local Area Forum held on July 17th at Stamford Town Hall, the proposal for a National Conference Centre for Stamford was raised by the Liberal Democrats. Cllr Maureen Jalili (LibDem) criticised the lack of specific economic development plans by SKDC when she raised the need for alternative employment opportunities. Stamford LibDems have long argued that tourism as a basis for continued employment and growth was not guaranteed and that Stamford needs to ensure economic growth for its future generations, rather than become simply a retirement town. We are pleased to report that SKDC have now agreed to seek funding for a feasibility study on this.
The Liberal Democrats have set out how to help people struggling with rising energy costs with the publication of Tackling Fuel Poverty, launched today by Nick Clegg.
