The Lib Dem Shadow Home Secretary, Mark Oaten MP, has tabled a motion in Parliament calling on the government to repeal the new anti-protest powers that led to the prosecution of Maya Evans. She had stood outside Downing Street and read out a list of the names of British soldiers killed in Iraq.
In a website launched last week David Cameron asks "Wouldn't you like to build a modern, progressive, liberal, mainstream opposition to Labour?" If like us your answer to David Cameron's question is yes, then why not join a party that already is, the Liberal Democrats.
In a keynote speech on climate change to an audience of Liberal Democrat members, NGOs and environmental publications, Charles Kennedy highlighted the difference between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives on the issue of the environment following David Cameron's assertion that the parties now agree:
Liberal Democrat led Eastleigh Borough Council have invested nearly £30,000 in a MUGA (or Multi-use Games Area for those not up on the latest local government jargon). This games area not only gives Townhill Junior school a valuable extra asset for the school children during daytime, it also gives an additional area for anyone to play games in at weekends and in the evenings.
Park Ward Liberal Democrats were shocked to discover that a Housing Association has submitted a planning application to the City Council for 14 flats on the green open space at the junction of Gibbs Street and Coleman Street in Whitmore Reans. This much loved open space could soon be covered in yet more residences bringing an end to the peace and quiet enjoyed by residents of the area. The open space was deliberately created when the old closely packed Victorian terraces were demolished to give future generations a breathing space. Robin Lawrence, Park Ward Lib Dem candidate, said "Fourteen flats are not needed here. Coleman Street and Gibbs Street are well known for being quiet areas of Wolverhampton and all that will happen with further housing is an increase in traffic and noise and a reduction in the quality of life for current residents."
HELPING to ensure that homeless people are not without a roof over Christmas and the new year is the aim of a booklet produced by the city council's housing department.
