Rickmansworth: This weeks e-news from the local Liberal Democrats
Good News - Liberal Democrat-run Three Rivers is one of the local authorities allocated money from the High Street Innovation Fund. Our share is £100,000. The aim is that local authorities, government, businesses and communities work together to promote new models of prosperous and diverse high streets and confidence in local high streets.

If you have any ideas about how this money should be spent to achieve its aims, please let us know. ........................................
