We should not have to share our pavements with HGVs This photo taken this morning (24th June 2022) summarises the consequences of the failure of Derbyshire County Council to limit the movements of HGVs on Ashbourne's roads.
Following the biggest majority ever overturned in a by-election as seen last night in Tiverton and Honiton, the Tory Blue wall is now crumbling. Tories now fear losing their seats in the next General Election, and are distancing themselves from Boris Johnson, as seen this morning in Oliver Dowden's decision to step down as Chair of the Conservative Party.
"The British people are fed up of having their expectations managed. For years, Boris Johnson has said things will get better. But things keep getting worse. So let me tell the Prime Minister: the British people expect to be led, and to be led with decency." Ed Davey
Sutton Liberal Democrats have declared the next election is a clear choice between Boris Johnson’s Conservatives or a local Liberal Democrat champion as the Conservative vote continues to crumble across the country.
Due to the untimely passing of an independent candidate, the local elections of councillors in the ward of New Malden of Kingston Council was postponed from 5 May to 23 June.
The size of the swing from Conservatives to Lib Dems that was seen in the fantastic win for Richard Foord in Tiverton and Honiton was almost 30% (29.9%).
