Fighting to Save Cottons' Gardens
Liberal Democrats are still fighting to save Cottons' gardens in Earl Shilton. The Cottons' water gardens off Candle Lane are under immediate threat. Cllr David Bill has raised the issue in the local press and is working with local residents to try to find a solution. In any other town in any other part of the country this environmental gem would have received recognition but it will be lost if it is left to our Labour Councillors.

Trident sparks second resignation
Ministerial aide Jim Devine has become the second member of the government to quit over plans to renew the UK's Trident nuclear weapons. The Livingston MP quit his job as a parliamentary private secretary at the Department of Health. A Labour rebellion is expected in a vote on Wednesday but the Conservatives will back renewal of Trident. The Liberal Democrats say Britain's stockpile of warheads should be cut by 50% but a decision on replacing them should be delayed until at least 2012. The Lib Dems will vote against the government's proposals on Wednesday, with as many as 100 Labour MPs who also oppose renewal.
