The Liberal Democrats have launched their Manifesto for Hertfordshire, which focuses on delivering the services people want. Launching the party's manifesto, Liberal Democrat Cllr Stephen Giles-Medhurst (Central Watford and Oxhey), Leader of the Opposition on Hertfordshire County Council said:
And that means South West Hertfordshire geographically, not just within the constituency.
Local Liberal Democrat activists in West Herts have had a busy year so far. Teams from Dacorum have been involved in a series of elections both local and further afield ... and at every level.
The evening of Saturday 20th October saw the Dacorum Symphony Orchestra celebrate its 40th Anniversary at a concert in the splendid Centenary Theatre of the Berkhamsted Collegiate School. The DSO evolved from the Hemel Hempstead Orchestra founded in 1972 by Thomas Loten, who also founded the Dacorum Sinfonietta in 1974 to concentrate on chamber music and smaller works, at the same time giving opportunities to young local players and enabling concerts to be performed in the many smaller halls across Dacorum.
Two pieces of good economic news as the UK carries on making slow but steady economic progress. The formation of the Coalition to give our country a stable government has clearly been a significant factor in maintaining confidence in the UK in the international financial markets. It is essential that the interest rate the government has to pay on its continued borrowings are kept low. These figures will make that more likely.
Work by Liberal Democrats in government means that bills are £50 lower this year, the lights are kept on and we are reducing emissions.
