Dear friends, welcome to our latest local Update.
Here is the text from the Electoral Reform Society:
Surrey Lib Dems are demanding the Government cancel plans to hike the average household energy bill by £500 in April and bring in a tax on the "bonanza bonuses" of oil and gas bosses.
Lib Dem members of the Planning & Regulatory Committee on Surrey County Council were among those who voted against the controversial plans to replace Reigate Priory Junior School with a new build within the grounds of the county council's own headquarters at Woodhatch Place on Cockshot Hill, Reigate.
New analysis by the Liberal Democrats has found there are a staggering 1.6 million cars in areas surrounding London which are not ULEZ compliant, including 157,338 in Surrey. Commuters, including key workers such as teachers, nurses and police officers driving into London from areas like Surrey are unable to access car scrappage schemes despite ULEZ being expanded to outer London in August, and will be forced to pay ULEZ charges every day for travelling to work.
The Liberal Democrats have long championed proportional representation, advocating for a voting system where every vote truly counts. We believe that reforming our electoral system is crucial for a fairer democracy and better governance.
We believe everyone deserves high-quality healthcare, accessible when and where it’s needed and free at the point of use.
The Liberal Democrats have laid out a bold and ambitious plan to restore the UK’s natural environment and ensure that everyone can access a clean, healthy, and thriving green space.
