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.
Plans to see money held in council reserves released were squashed yesterday by members of the Conservative and Labour groups, who failed to support Lib Dem plans to release funding and failed to table any proposals themselves. However following the Lib Dem proposal all groups have now agreed to look in more detail at how the council can release any reserves.
Commenting on last nights meeting of Full Council Michael Headley, Liberal Democrat Group Leader, commented:
The Bedford Lib Dems have elected their new officers and spokespeople on Bedford Borough Council.
Local Lib Dems have slammed this year's huge Council Tax rises from the ruling Conservative Councils. Both the District and County Councils raised Council Tax by over 4 times the current rate of inflation!
Liberal Democrats on Bedford Borough Council were effectively gagged when they attempted to propose a change to the council's spending policy. The only way they were able to challenge the build up of council reserves was by raising a petition.
Yesterday's elections in Bedford Borough saw the Lib Dems move into second place in votes across the whole Borough. This makes the Lib Dems the key challengers for the Mayoral Election in October.
