● At least 4,500 trees will be planted by Lib Dem run Teignbridge Council to help the environment and count towards trees lost to Ash die-back. The council has also cut back on the use of chemical weed-killer which is now used mainly for noxious weeds.
In the height of the pandemic, Lib Dem Cllr Alison Foden undertook her second year as mayor of Dawlish. In her day job Alison works at RD&E on research trials, including one on for Covid-19 therapy drugs and more, but she has still found time to represent Dawlish.
Liberal Democrats have attacked local Conservative boasts about police funding that confuse a Council Tax rise with funding from the Government.
Norfolk County Council plan to install a signalised crossing at the Eaton Road/Newmarket Road junction. The scheme would form part of a £32million programme of improvements for Norwich, and if given the go-ahead would enable cyclists and pedestrians to cross more safely. It would also provide collateral benefits for children walking to/from CNS School. Lib Dem County Councillor Brian Watkins said that any measures to improve safety at this junction would be welcome, but that it would be necessary to consult with the public before any changes were introduced. Further feasibility and design work will take place in the coming weeks.
The long-term future of the Liberal Democrats relies on encouraging new younger members to support the activities and introduce new policy ideas.
