Planned increases in pensioners bus fares can be stopped according to proposals to be announced by borough Liberal Democrats.
The Rt. Hon. Charles Kennedy MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats has today given a key speech on trust at the National Liberal Club. Below is what he said:
For the third year running shoppers are being given an unwanted Christmas bonus. Lurke Street car parking charges are to increase yet again.
Lib Dem councillors called this week for assurances that members of the public will not have their rights curtailed as a result of the reduction in the scope of the applications that are heard by the Planning Committee.
A decision to increase bus fares for pensioners has been challenged by the borough council Scrutiny committee, following a proposal by Lib Dem leader Michael Headley, despite efforts by Labour members to delay the decision.
Lib Dems in the borough are calling for the council to get behind plans for a number of fully funded Community Safety Officers to be based in the area.
