Dear friends, here is our latest update covering what we hope are interesting developments since our last update on 12 September.
Dear friends, when we posted our last update on 14 August we had planned to not write until 25th September while we recharged our batteries, and had also hoped "things" might get better while we were away. Oh dear…
Welcome to our latest update, responding to developments since Friday 31 July.
Surrey Lib Dems secured agreement from Surrey County Council at its meeting on 12 July that it would look again at how best to coordinate public engagement on climate change projects such as the installation of electric vehicle charging points.
A Surrey Lib Dems' motion calling on Surrey County Council to declare a cost-of-living crisis emergency in Surrey was voted down by the Tory administration at its full council meeting yesterday. One of the proposals put forward was for Surrey County Council to hold a county-wide summit to bring together a range of organisations that are involved in advising, supporting or providing financial help to residents who are experiencing hardship. The aim of the summit would be to find ways of better coordinating services; identify any gaps in provision and see what more could be done to ease the cost-of-living pressure on vulnerable residents.
Lib Dem Councillors have criticised Stagecoach over cancellations and cuts to key bus services in Guildford and Woking.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to transforming maternal and neonatal care and ensuring inclusive care for all, so we can create a safer, more compassionate healthcare system for everyone.
Our market system should balance businesses’ needs and the rights and freedoms of workers.
The last ten days have been immensely difficult for our country.
