Empress Liberal Democrats reported concerns over the water company doing a test of thousands of gallons of water pouring out into Pierrefondes Avenue on Thursday. The road was slippery and there seemed to be no action being taken by the workers to prevent ice covering the road. This was reported and we are told action was taken by Hampshire county council and in future permits for this work will ensure gritting is undertaken.

Southwood Country Park Opening Councillor Craig Card visiting on opening day to view the new building at the Southwood Country Park. Checking out the wheelchair access to the building and outside cafe area. Both were very wheelchair friendly apart from the doors. The first stage sees the playground and the outdoor cafe cabin open. Also a small crafts fair was taking place. We await the completion of the rest of the building to be opened sometime in the not-too-distant future. Well worth a visit.

The Liberal Democrats are committed to rebuilding the trust and compassion that the UK was once known for. We believe that our country has a responsibility to support those in need, no matter where they are in the world.
For too long, years of neglect and mismanagement by the previous Conservative Government have pushed our prison system into a deep crisis.
The Liberal Democrats have long championed proportional representation, advocating for a voting system where every vote truly counts. We believe that reforming our electoral system is crucial for a fairer democracy and better governance.
