The Liberal Democrats put forward their alternative budget plans for the next four years at a meeting of Hertfordshire County Council on 21 February.
Despite a last minute boost to Herts County Council coffers of £12.8m, the Conservative-run council has refused to use £1m of this to provide extra support to the hard pressed Special Educational Needs (SEND) budget
At Herts County Council's Environment Cabinet Panel on Thursday Conservatives voted to reduce the council's commitment to carbon reduction. Previously the council had been including schools in its net zero by 2030 target but this is now being dropped
The Conservatives no longer run Hertsmere Borough Council, after 24 years in charge. At the local elections, the Conservatives lost 13 seats, and their majority, leaving no one party able to run the council alone.
The results in Hertsmere: Conservatives: 16 (-13) Labour: 14 (+7) Lib Dems: 9 (+6)
The Lib Dem Draw is a great way to donate to the Liberal Democrat cause, and you could win one of our tremendous prizes to boot....
