In response to official crime figures showing that in 2015 the number of violent crimes recorded in Surrey increased by 48%, Paul Kennedy, the Liberal Democrat candidate for Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) said:
Epsom & Ewell Borough Council will be hosting an open public meeting at the next Health Liaison Panel on Monday 22 February from 7pm-9pm at Bourne Hall to provide an update and more information about health matters locally.
Paul Kennedy, the Liberal Democrat candidate for Surrey's next Police and Crime Commissioner, has described as "very worrying" the continuing decline in positive outcomes for victims of high harm crimes such as rape and serious sexual offences, domestic abuse, child abuse and hate crime. He praised the efforts of domestic abuse and other victims' organisations to highlight the issue.
We have all become more aware of the need for free school meals in the last few months, but child food poverty did not start with Covid19. Surrey Lib Dems have called on the Surrey County Council administration to take steps to address this growing problem across the county.
The Surrey Lib Dems are asking people across the county who care for relatives to get in touch and share their story - to mark national Carers Rights Day.
Learning to drive is a vital life skill. Liberal Democrat members passed a new plan to clear the backlogs, end the rip-offs, and get the next generation moving.
Big tech companies should not be allowed to profit at the expense of children’s wellbeing.
Our pragmatic, costed and achievable plan that would make a real difference to graduates now, while also fixing the system for the long term.
