Last week Antony Wood, the Lib Dem Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, campaigned in Windsor Town to try and prevent the proposed closure of the St Leonards Road and Dedworth Road Post Offices. At a Council meeting on Tuesday he continued this opposition by seconding a motion from Cllr Jeremy Hyde (Liberal Democrat) calling for these closures to be stopped.
Figures released recently by Transport Minister, Tony McNulty, show that car parking income in the South Hams has increased by a massive 83% since 1997, the highest increase in Devon. This compares with increases of only 22% in Mid Devon and 28% in Torbay. Commenting on these figures Totnes Liberal Democrat Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, Mike Treleaven said:
At last nights group meeting of the Shepway Liberal Democrats, Cllr Linda Cufley resigned as the leader of the group. Members of the group have the greatest respect for Linda, and for all the work she has done over the last 21 years for both this district and her colleagues. As Linda explained to the group last night, the reason for her resignation was to enable the group to move forward as a whole.
Statement from Brian McAndrew, Chief Executive of Shepway District Council:
Two Lib Dem MPs - Simon Hughes and Lembit Opik - joined Chelmsford Lib Dems at a recent Garden Party here. They welcomed the 100th new Lib Dem recruit in the Local Party's current membership drive.
