Decisions on how Merton Council’s new Legacy Fund Advisory Board will allocate £15 million of public money will be made behind closed doors, after Labour councillors blocked plans for transparency.
Local Lib Dem leader Oliver Brooks says "Rachel Reeves’ budget will produce dismal growth over the next five years*
Cameron Thomas has welcomed an announcement in the latest government budget, that it will fully transfer pension funds to members of the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS).
This Budget isn’t a national mission for growth; it’s a low-growth budget from a low-growth Government which pulls thousands of people into higher tax, punishing working families in Esher and Walton and waging a quiet war on aspiration.
He said that in May people in Argyll & Bute will have a straight choice between SNP neglect or Lib Dem change with fairness at its heart at next May’s election.
Southwark Council has told local councillors that’s “no timeline” for implementing fully funded changes to stop u-turns on West Lane, the Liberal Democrats can reveal.
