Medway Liberal Democrats have long campaigned on environmental issues which affect our towns and we want to stay active on this issue, this is why we have decided to launch an environmental campaign for Medway to raise awareness of environmental concerns that affect our towns. This also coincides with our national 5 point green recovery plan.
The following letter by Linda Chung to the local press in Camden, Hampstead and Highgate and published in full this week is reproduced below:
Are we heading towards another winter of discontent? The last major occurrence was in 1978-79 when Callaghan's Labour government failed to control widespread strikes against pay controls. The behaviour of far-left unions did not help. The situation has some parallels. This government is letting us all down.
Councillor Luigi Gregori, our local Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesperson commented:
With the impact of Coronavirus, recent gas price increases, and the Government's removal of the £20 uplift to Universal Credit, Bedford Borough Council is encouraging local residents to check what support they are eligible for.
A group of green fingered Lickey End residents were so fed up with the environmental damage caused by Himalayan Balsam in their community they decided to take matters into their own hands. Gathering together on the first Sunday of October, a group of 20 residents cleared a long stretch of the brook at Lickey End Recreation Ground, shifting 85 large garden bags full of weeds between them.
