Talk to Central Beds Council? - Why Bother!
Sat 6th Feb 2010
Mid Bedsl Lib Dem activists have long feared that Tory promises are not worth much. Now their fears are being realised. The Tory lead Central Beds Council's Community Engagement Strategy promises to put 'citizens at the heart of everything we do'and to give 'more people more opportunities to influence decisions'. So why are Silsoe's residents being ignored when they rightly oppose dramatically increased traffic congestion in the High Street? So why are Shillington's residents being ignored, when they have opposed the council-chosen (and ill-chosen) development site in Shillington - not once, but three times? And just how precarious is Stondon's development site?

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit
Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan
"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
