Lib Dems Confident of Future on Congleton Borough

Congleton Lib Dems held on to many of their key seats in Congleton Borough and increased their vote in many other seats. It was a disappointing night for Congleton North West and Simon Davey lost his seat to the Conservatives as did Ray Lowe in Astbury, by a nail biting 1 vote! Ray is a very well respected community activist and a County Councillor. He has worked hard for the people of the Borough and will continue to do so for his County constituents.

ELECTION RESULTS GIVE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS REASON FOR REAL SATISFACTION - HUGHES

Party President Simon Hughes MP has welcomed the results of the local elections as a further sign that the Liberal Democrats are making progress in all areas of Britain. The final results saw the Tories with a net gain of 316 councillors and Labour with a net loss of 319. It is unfortunate that we made no progress in Congleton but nationally the Liberal Democrats had a net gain of two councillors and one additional council. The sixth term won by the Lib Dems in Sutton is a record for the party.

GOVERNMENT FAILING TO MEET TARGETS IN A 'SPECTACULAR FASHION'

An EU scheme to cut greenhouse gases undermined incentives for countries to pollute less, a report revealed today. The survey of the Union's emissions trading scheme (ETS) revealed major shortcomings in the initiative. Under the scheme, power stations, refineries and heavy industry across Europe were given a limit on how much CO2 they could emit. However, figures show that countries across Europe were given too many pollution allowances or permits by their governments, reducing incentives to cut pollution.
