At Wednesday nights Executive committee (Wednesday 24 July) members of the Lib Dem group announced plans to use money recommended for release from council reserves to put a freeze on council tax and improve frontline services. However following a vote members of all other parties decided to ignore these plans.
Commenting on the zero star rating for Bedford Hospital Trust, Lib Dem Mayoral Candidate Christine McHugh said:
Lib Dem Parliamentary Spokesman Peter Carroll has challenged MP Michael Howard to publicly apologise for the actions of the local Conservative Party, after the Lib Dems were cleared of any wrong doing for the 2nd time in a Shepway election.
Lib Dems on the Borough council will tonight (Wednesday 24 July) attack plans to spend £54,000 on oak panelling for a new tourist Information centre.
Following a petition raised earlier this year by members of the Lib Dem group, last nights Corporate and Resources Policy Review and Development Committee meeting saw funding released from a number of Council reserves. In total over £500,000 was freed up from reserves targeted by the Lib Dems. The Lib Dem proposals now seek to use this funding for an increase in frontline services.
