From Alan Hilliar, Prospective Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate for Aldershot and Farnborough
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.
British universities are a world-leading export and an engine for innovation, but today, the sector is at a breaking point. Liberal Democrats have passed a new plan to deliver a fairer deal for students and graduates and secure the future of the sector.
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
The right to a trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our democracy for over 800 years. Liberal Democrat members have passed a new plan to tackle court backlogs without scrapping juries.
