Congratulations to our newest Councillor Lisa Brewin on winning the Stamford Town Council by election in Stamford St Mary's ward
Councillors in Westbury are being urged to approve a 'fighting fund' of up to £100,000 to stop a controversial energy from waste incinerator being built.
Analysis by the Liberal Democrats shows that reducing the banking surcharge will cost the Treasury over £3.8 billion over the next four years. This compares to just £1.8 billion of additional catch-up funding in yesterday's Budget. That is the equivalent of £1 of extra catch up funding per child every school day.
Next Friday (November 5th) farmers in Westmorland and Lonsdale will be able to quiz local MP Tim Farron and representatives from DEFRA and the Rural Payments Agency at a special Q&A event.
Reacting to the Government's new low carbon heating announcement, Liberal Democrat Climate Change Spokesperson Councillor Jake Sampson said that "These plans are a kick in the teeth for the poorest families across the country facing soaring energy bills this winter.
The Progressive Alliance believes that 'not enough' is being done for families that are struggling to access NHS dentists, leaving them to suffer in silence or face whopping bills for private care.
