Brexit means years of arguing about trade deals instead of fixing the real problems this country faces. Meanwhile, your rights get weaker, food prices rise and the NHS faces a shortage of doctors and nurses.
Conservative-run Rushmoor Council recycles just 26% of our household waste. The rest goes into landfill or incineration. Lib Dems want to boost local recycling from waste.
Local community groups are set to fold thanks to the Conservative run Council closing Farnborough Community Centre. Earlier this year the Farnborough Community Centre Association trustees announced they could no longer run the centre beyond the end of 2018. The trustees are getting older and couldn't find anyone new to look after the community centre on a voluntary basis.
Hampshire County Council recently held a public consultation on its controversial proposal to turn most of Lynchford Road, connecting the A331 Blackwater Valley Route and the A325 Farnborough Road, into a dual carriageway to take the traffic created by the airport and exhibition centre. Local developers will contribute over £2 million towards the Council's scheme.
Police cut back to fund a hard Brexit
Years of Conservative cuts have hollowed out the legal aid system, leaving millions without access to timely legal advice. Our new policy will legal aid a guaranteed right, ensure no one is left without help.
Millions of people are still trapped in England’s broken leasehold system. Our plan will end the leasehold rip-off, strengthen building safety, and give residents the control, fairness, and dignity they deserve in their own homes.
Hong Kongers living in the UK, and across the world, face an increasingly robust and alarming campaign of transnational repression from Beijing. Our new policy will protect pro-democracy activists and ensure this intimidation has no place in the UK.
