Lib Dems parading at Manchester LGBT Pride 2011

Flying the Flag at Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester Prides

Liberal Democrats will be flying the flag at Liverpool and Leeds Prides this weekend. Supported by the national LGBT+ Lib Dems, local activists will be marching and holding a stall in Liverpool, and on the Leeds parade. They'll be showing support for equal marriage and for science-led, risk-oriented policy on blood donation. Local supporters are encouraged to go and join in and fly the Lib Dem banners high with pride at our constant support for LGBT+ communities.

Transforming High Street Passageways

On Friday I was pleased to mark the unveiling of the artwork which has transformed the first of two passageways to be improved as part of the Bedford High Street heritage regeneration scheme. 'Passage 101', which is off the northern section of the High Street and is a common link between the High Street and Lurke Street Car Park, has been transformed through the Townscape Heritage Initiative through a range of improvements. Most notable amongst these improvements, which included repairs to the paving, lighting, brickwork, drainage, the installation of CCTV and a deep clean, is the artwork which was designed by Bedford College Student Michelle Crowther.
