Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats are demanding that Conservative Central Bedfordshire Council pays its debts to the people of Bedford Borough after it was revealed that it owes Bedford Borough Council over £8 million. It was further revealed that over £4 million of the debt is now shockingly over three months overdue.
Last weekend, the Liberal Democrats became the only political party pledging to end child detention immigration centres.
"Vote for what you believe in… or you will wake up on May 7th facing another five years of more of the same," said the Liberal Democrat Leader.

Liberal Democrat Spring Conference today backed plans to increase the threshold at which people start paying income tax from current levels to £10,000.
Dramatic news has emerged which has raised serious doubts over the plans of Tory-run Bucks County Council for a giant incinerator at Rookery Pit near Stewartby. It is reported that Buckinghamshire County Council is restarting its waste tendering process again after legal restraints were found to affect the land upon which US waste management giant Covanta planned to locate a 600,000 tonne incinerator.
Further details of the damaging financial legacy left to local taxpayers by the Conservative County Council have been exposed with the revelation that the cost of restoring a landfill site at Elstow, which had been neglected by the now defunct authority, could be as much as up to £10 million. The County Council, which ignored repeated warnings from the Environment Agency to take action and start work on the restoration of the site to comply with statutory requirements, had allocated just £4.3 million in their spending programme to 'cap' the site. Preliminary estimates by experts suggest that the work could cost local taxpayers up to £10 million.
