The Liberal Democrats have branded proposals to move Elmbridge out of Gloucester and into Tewkesbury as "farcical".
In the last few weeks Park Road and Queens Road have been turned into a traffic cut through by Hampshire Highways Authority due to the Lynchford road improvement works. These roads are not suitable for such high traffic volumes.
The Lib Dems have produced an advice leaflet for any resident in Longlevens who is concerned about the cost of living crisis.
Lib Dem councillors have welcomed the news that the city's Pallion Shipyard could be brought back to life as film studio development. Local councillors for Pallion Martin Haswell, George Smith and Colin Nicholson met with Pallion Engineering who own the site to discuss the vision for re opening the site. The facility on the banks of the River Wear next to the Queen Alexandra Bridge was opened in 1976 and closed in 1988. Liberal Democrat councillor for Pallion Martin Haswell said: "This is fantastic news for Pallion and for Sunderland. It is really encouraging to hear that Pallion Engineering are looking to bring back the shipyard site back into use for a film use, creating new jobs and breathing life back into the mothballed site."
Jeremy Hunt's first budget as Chancellor was bleak to say the least. The OBR has forecast that the next two years will see the biggest fall in household incomes in generations.
West Berkshire Liberal Democrats are calling on the Chancellor to protect education spending, as shocking new figures show that schools in the Newbury constituency face cuts in their spending power of £1.8m next year.
