Welcome to our latest update, responding to developments since our last update on Friday 19 June. We've not attempted to try and summarise the current rules or guidance around COVID-19 since, well, we are just as confused as everyone! However we hope the following is of interest.
Dear members & supporters, I have just received this email in my role as a Borough Councillor - thought many of you would be interested.
Welcome to our latest update, using developments since our last update on Friday 5th June.
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 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.
