Andy's News

Liberal Democrats WIN Chesham and Amersham! 🎉 Huge congratulations to Sarah Green

All of you will all be waking up to the news, we have won a Parliamentary By-election in Amersham. I spent a very hot day canvassing there and was amazed how soft the Tory vote was. Do not be misled by the Tory press this was an earthquake result to achieve a 8,000+ majority and for Labour to loose its deposit is unprecedented. It's up to all of us whether you are a Councillor, official, an active member or just a member to tell your friends, your work colleagues and everyone you know of this historic result. When a General Election is called no matter what you can contribute in time, in effort or simply cash "Step up"! We can Win! Neil Taylor, President of the Gainsborough Constituency.

Sue Burfoot on Smedley Street

‘Safe’ is a feeling as well as a statistic

At the Highways, Assets and Transport Cabinet meeting held on the 17th June, a request from Lib Dem Cllr Sue Burfoot to introduce traffic calming measures in Smedley Street, Matlock was refused. Despite a petition signed by 50 local residents requesting these measures, the Cabinet Member for Highways, newly appointed Cllr Kewal Singh Athwal, has agreed with the officer report and recommended the refusal of the request on the grounds that there have been insufficient 'personal injury collisions' to warrant introducing measures to slow down the traffic. It seems that the way that road safety is looked at by the County Council is to regard it in cost benefit terms and (apparently) 3 people have to be hurt within 3 years before even the most basic traffic calming scheme can be funded.
