Newcastle Lib Dems launch 2010 Council Election Manifesto
Newcastle Liberal Democrats have launched their manifesto for the 2010 Council elections. The document sets out the Council's many achievements since the Lib Dems took control in 2004, and what we hope to achieve in the short and medium term in future, if re-elected. From keeping our promise to hold down Council Tax below inflation, to winning the prestigious prize of the UK's 'most sustainable city), we have made a real difference to people's lives. Even in the face of severe recession, we have won a coveted 'green flag' award for the work we are doing to help people find work and cope with financial issues. Our manifesto sets out how we will build on this progress in the short to medium term.
