Although the motion didn’t pass, we have had offers of further discussion and involvement with senior officers in taking these important developments and decisions forward.
We were very disappointed that all Labour Councillors opposed our motion when we are sure many, if not most of them, privately supported it.
Liberal Democrats have a proud tradition of working hard for local people and listening to their views. Our councillors always keep people informed about what is going on through regular FOCUS newsletters. I ask for your support on 1st May.
We were given less than a month to consider proposed cuts - including changes to parking, recycling and library services which greatly impact south Warrington. Labour has agreed to earlier consultation with us next year.
When questioned about efforts to secure more government support, the Council's response was a resounding 'no'. Instead Labour chose to balance the budget by slashing £30.5 million in services.
Councillors Harris and Wheeler will vote against the budget due to lack of consultation on closure of Sandy Lane Recycling Centre, changes to parking charges and reduction in library services. SIGN OUR PETITION FOR A NEW RECYCLING CENTRE! (link in story)
