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.

Your Lib Dem campaign team continues to monitor the impact of the new smart motorway system recently installed along the Farnborough section of the M3 motorway.
Health workers ranging from doctors, dentists, nurses and midwives to cleaners and porters are to receive a 1% pay rise. Commenting on the news, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said the government are treating staff like 'dirt'. He says:
The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to hold tech companies accountable, equip the police with the right powers, and build a digital world where women and girls can live safely and without fear.
Supporting people to age well and maintain their independence is better for them and common-sense for the NHS. The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to fix social care, protect our NHS, and ensure everyone can age well in their own home and community.
Liberal Democrat members have renewed our commitment to fix the front door of the NHS, restore patient choice, end dental deserts, and ensure preventative care is accessible before health problems turn into emergencies.
