Dramatic new figures revealed by the Liberal Democrats show that Wolverhampton is doing better than the country as a whole in keeping down emissions of the gases that cause climate change, but is still emitting more than twice as much carbon dioxide as the global average.
Dramatic new figures revealed by the Liberal Democrats show that Chesterfield is doing better than the country as a whole in keeping down emissions of the gases that cause climate change, but is still emitting nearly three times as much carbon dioxide as the global average.
Speaking in the debate on the Education and Skills Select Committee report on Special Educational Needs (SEN) in the House of Commons yesterday, Paul Holmes, Liberal Democrat MP for Chesterfield, said:
Liberal Democrat Councillors have been lobbying the Tory- run County Council for years about the very poor condition of many of the roads across the district.
Middleton Township will have much more power as a result of the new Council Policy of devolving as much responsibility as possible. The devolution, part of the Liberal Democrat Manifesto will now start to make a real difference on how this Council is run. 1st April 1974 was the date when Middleton ceased to be an independent Borough. Much of their dwindling powers were taken over by Rochdale, previous the former County Council called most of the shots. Middleton is now set to have its own 'Town Hall', which will be a vocal point for accessing Council Services. Indeed, the Middleton Township is set to have MORE power than the previous Middleton Borough Council.
I am delighted to contribute to this section of the paper… So what do I know about politics? Well not as much as people may think! You see I got into politics to make a difference to my community. I'm not a politician, I'm a Community Activist!
