Epsom Liberal Democrats are campaigning to stop waste from other boroughs being brought to the transfer station in Blenheim Road. They have asked SITA (the waste company employed by Surrey County Council) to find a different route for the huge Britaniacrest lorries to use instead of Hook Road and Epsom town centre.
When Liberal Democrat councillors proposed that local residents should be permitted to ask questions at meetings of the whole council, they were voted down.
Lib Dem councillors in Epsom are delighted that the council has agreed to upgrade leisure facilities in the Epsom area. A meeting of the Leisure Committee on 29th January agreed to spend £40,000 repairing and renewing tennis courts and boundary fencing at Alexandra and Court Recreation Grounds, £48,000 on a new hard-surface 5-a-side pitch also at Alexandra and £100,000 on a new playground in Rosebery Park.
Liberal Democrat Councillors on Surrey County Council have criticised the Conservative administration for seeking to put all the blame for a potentially high Council Tax for next year on the government, without recognising that it has had opportunities over many years to review how the budget is spent.
Liberal Democrats criticised the Conservative administration's policy on waste in Surrey at a recent County Council meeting. Councillor Tom Sharp, Lib Dem Spokesman on the Environment said, "The Conservative administration is placing too much emphasis on incineration as a way of dealing with Surrey's waste."
Conservatives on Surrey County Council have refused to amend the Surrey Structure Plan to delete the proposal to build new housing in the green belt north east of Guildford. Liberal Democrats believe that keeping this proposal in the plan, even as a last resort will set a very dangerous precedent that may result in further threats to Surrey's green belt.
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.
