For the third successive year Totnes Liberal Democrats took a stand at Kingsbridge Agricultural Show, one of the biggest in the Totnes Constituency. Over 400 people signed their petition to make National Health Dentistry available to all and the stand was awash with visitors all day. Speaking afterwards Totnes PPC, Mike Treleaven said:
People queued up throughout the day at Kingsbridge show last Saturday to support the Liberal Democrat petition calling for National Health dentistry to be available for all. Over 400 people signed and were vehement in their protests at the current situation. Not one National Health dentist in the South Hams, or Torbay currently has a vacancy which leaves a stark choice for those needing dental treatment - either pay to go private or go without.

Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
Peter Carroll has launched a petition to help the Gurkhas in their campaign to be given citizenship when they have completed their service. The Home Office is sitting on hundreds of applications for citizenship from retired Gurkhas. Some applications have been under consideration for over 2 years. Only a few days ago, a retired Gurkha was deported.
