As part of its 'Backing Local Business' campaign, the Warrington Guardian asked for a comment from former Council Leader Cllr Ian Marks on the response from the Government and the Council to the pandemic.
Cllr Bob Barr, Liberal Democrat Group Leader on Warrington Borough Council, commented to the BBC and Warrington Guardian as the town's economic recovery begins:
Local Liberal Democrats have added their weight to calls for the Government to give more financial support to Councils helping their communities fight the effects of the pandemic.
Liberal Democrats gained 407 councillors and control of 12 councils in England, giving us our best result in decades.
British people are struggling with eye-watering food prices and yet this Conservative Government is refusing to help. Liberal Democrats are putting forward a proper plan to make food cheaper.
This is a devastating blow to our country’s environment.
