I've been blown away by our community in 2020. Families shopping for neighbours, people volunteering at Community Hubs, collecting for charity, bringing a little light into people's life. Local businesses that have adapted so fast to find new ways to survive and serve.

The Liberal Democrats have demanded the Prime Minister declares a "State of Emergency" in Kent with over 5,000 lorries left stranded after the border between France and the UK was closed to trade and travel.
As Liberal Democrats, we welcome increasing support for changes to a fairer voting system. A recent YouGov poll found greater support amongst the public for proportional representation (42%) than for the current electoral method (33%). The poll also found that four in ten Britons think the current system is unfair.
Paul Ray writes As Liberal Democrats we know that a major priority for our country is to solve the housing crisis, by making housing properly affordable. As a councillor on Lichfield District Council, I am on the Overview & Scrutiny Committee which has reviewed the "Planning for the Future" White Paper and I have expressed serious concerns about planning.
The Director for Public Health for Shropshire tells me that shopping at your closest Welsh food store and working over the border are considered essential visits and self-isolation does not apply.
