Last night, at the Police and Crime Panel, Bedford Borough Liberal Democrat Police spokesperson Councillor Sarah Gallagher repeated her calls that the Government should be properly funding our local police.
Responding to the latest official figures which have revealed a 19% rise in violent crime recorded by police in England and Wales, Bedford Borough Liberal Democrat Policing Spokesperson Sarah Gallagher said "We are facing an epidemic of violent crime. Behind these shocking figures lies hundreds of tragedies of young lives cut short. All Conservative Ministers have done is make things worse.
Bedford Borough Liberal Democrat Universal Credit spokesperson Dean Crofts has warned the Conservatives must commit to "major investment" to remedy the problems with Universal Credit. Dean said The Conservative's botched roll-out of Universal Credit continues to cause real pain and misery that must be stopped. Liberal Democrats demand better than the Conservatives' cruel policy of balancing the books on the backs of the poor."
Bedfordshire Police suffer from severe underfunding in comparison to other police forces, partly as they are considered a small rural force!
Everyone at Bedford Liberal Democrats would like to wish you a happy, healthy and successful 2019.
