The Liberal Democrats have launched a plan to help Gloucester recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown.

The six-point plan covers economic recovery, housing, supporting communities, the environment, culture and rebuilding council services.

The Liberal Democrats will be urging the city council to introduce this plan as soon as possible.

Liberal Democrat city councillor for Podsmead Sebastian Field is working to resolve some highways issues in his ward.

The road surface on Scott Avenue has been repeatedly marked with potholes. Sebastian has reported them to Gloucestershire Highways and some have been filled, only for new ones to appear.

The Liberal Democrats are questioning the appointment of a Gloucester businesswoman to lead the city's economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis.

They are concerned about a perceived conflict of interest that could undermine the city council's reputation.

Councillor Dawn Melvin has joined the ruling Conservative administration as the cabinet member for economic recovery.

Longlevens Liberal Democrats are pleased to see another third of Old Cheltenham Road has been resurfaced.

The first part of the carriageway outside the King Teddy pub was replaced in 2019 and now the the stretch outside Tesco and Ruddy's has been fixed.

That part of the road has been in poor condition for a very long time and the team has repeatedly reported potholes to the county council highways department for repair.

Gloucester Liberal Democrats are committed to supporting our communities through this crisis. This post is going to outline the current advice from the health service and what you can do to help. We will endeavour to keep this page up to date to the best of our ability.
