Lib Dems condemn “chaotic and incompetent” budget
The sheer quantity of raw sewage being dumped into Britain’s rivers and coastal areas is a scandal and a disgrace.
Your Conservative County Councillor resigned just a few months before the full county council elections. The by-election for this seat takes place on Thursday October 2nd. The cost of the by-election will cost local taxpayers several thousand pounds. Peter Morris, the Liberal Democrat candidate, and his fellow Liberal Democrats in Bourne think this is a disgrace. The money could have been spent on vital services in Bourne such as improving our roads and pavements.
'Local residents are fed up with the lack of action over plans to regenerate Bourne town centre,' says Peter Morris, 'Plans have been around for many years, but local people want to see action. While council bosses continue to dither, the town centre declines further. One supermarket has closed in the Burghley Centre and North Street has been allowed to decline. The time for talking is over - the time for action is NOW.'
Liberal Democrats in Bourne are delighted that Peter Morris has agreed to stand in the Bourne Abbey by-election. Peter has lived locally for the past seven years and is well known for leading the fights against local health cuts back in 2006. Bill Newton Dunn, who is backing Peter's campaign says 'Peter will make an excellent local County Councillor, I hope you will support him on October 2nd.'

Shepway Liberal Democrats have thanked all who took part in "Sam's Fiendish Quiz" at Saltwood Village Hall last night: with 7 teams and over 40 people competing, a good night was hopefully had by all!
The Europe debate at Conference backed plans to put Britain in the driving seat of the EU, refocusing the union on measures to protect the global interests and domestic security of the UK and its European partners. Among the measures in "Shaping Our World Through a Strong Europe" are: Greater cooperation among member states to tackle terrorism, international crime and people trafficking; Ensuring energy security and effective action on climate change by increasing the EU's carbon reduction target and developing a common EU energy policy; and Eliminating obstacles to cross-border economic activity within Europe.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales has told LDEG that the EU is the largest and most important market for UK businesses and that its success as a competitive and growing economy which can respond flexibly to the challenges of globalisation is critically important for economic growth in the UK. They also acknowledge that the EU faces some turbulent times ahead due to the combination of a global economic downturn and the growing threat of climate change.
