After years of neglecting Killinghall Road Car Park by St Andrew’s Church, the Labour-run Council now plans to charge £1/hr (over 3 hrs: £4), Mon–Sat 8am–6pm. This will hurt local businesses, church groups, and increase dangerous on-street parking.
The Labour Executive blames everyone but themselves for the Council's financial collapse. Now their friends in Government are forcing residents to pay the price. The 9.99% tax rise is just another slap in the face for Bradford residents.
64,000 pensioners face a winter in the cold as Labour's poorly thoughtout cut to the Winter Fuel Payments are just weeks away. Cllr Brendan Stubbs and the Liberal Democrats asked the Labour Councillors to back our calls to reverse the policy.
Labour’s Cllr Ross-Shaw dismissed concerns from Residents, Businesses and the Lib Dem team about the new parking charges in Idle as just ‘teething problems’. Liberal Democrat Councillors disagree and so do residents, businesses too.
The Liberal Democrat group in Bradford were pleased to support a motion that asked the West Yorkshire Pension Fund, and the Council investments not to support companies that are complicit in or profit from war.
So we will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.
My message to the UK’s LGBTQ+ community is clear - I support you. I stand with you.
In the face of divisive and destructive politics, it is more important than ever that the Liberal Democrats continue to offer a liberal alternative.
