*Rochdale Liberal Democrats Council Group Press Statement* The Rochdale Liberal Democrat group, consisting of Councillors Andy Kelly, Irene Davidson & David Bamford issued a joint statement this morning endorsing the stance of Rochdale Council in providing direct support to families in food poverty after the Tory led Westminster government voted down plans to expand existing arrangements this week.
Brentwood Liberal Democrats wish to applaud footballer Marcus Rashford for his campaign to provide free school meal vouchers...
This week the Government voted against extending Free School Meals in the upcoming school holidays.
Following the Conservative governments refusal to extend free school meals for those in hardship a number of local businesses have stepped into the breach and are offering free food to those that qualify. This is a fantastic initiative by those involved, please see below. The list may not be totally comprehensive, so if you know of any businesses doing this that we have missed, please let us know.
The objections to the Westbury incinerator continue to be uploaded, and there are well over a thousand objections on the Wiltshire Council Website now. Good to see local South West Wiltshire residents and local Lib Dems so passionate about protecting the residents and environment in Westbury. One of the latest ones is the #Westbury Arla consultants' report and has recommended refusal for planning of the Westbury Incinerator (The report is added under the name of Redmore Environmental Ltd.). http://www.whitehorsenews.co.uk/blog/2020/10/13/over-1000-incinerator-comments-overwhelm-wiltshire-council/
