Dear friends, welcome to our latest Update covering material since our last one on 27 March. This is a short one as we have been "hitting the campaign trail" in preparation for the Surrey County Council elections on 6 May. We are posting regular updates on this on our Facebook site here.
David has set up a petition on SCC's site here https://petitions.surreycc.gov.uk/CollegeCrossing/#detail
Surrey Lib Dems are demanding the Government cancel plans to hike the average household energy bill by £500 in April and bring in a tax on the "bonanza bonuses" of oil and gas bosses.
Lib Dem members of the Planning & Regulatory Committee on Surrey County Council were among those who voted against the controversial plans to replace Reigate Priory Junior School with a new build within the grounds of the county council's own headquarters at Woodhatch Place on Cockshot Hill, Reigate.
New analysis by the Liberal Democrats has found there are a staggering 1.6 million cars in areas surrounding London which are not ULEZ compliant, including 157,338 in Surrey. Commuters, including key workers such as teachers, nurses and police officers driving into London from areas like Surrey are unable to access car scrappage schemes despite ULEZ being expanded to outer London in August, and will be forced to pay ULEZ charges every day for travelling to work.
Space is no longer science fiction – it underpins our economy, security, and daily lives. Our new policy will renew the National Space Strategy, support UK spaceports and hubs, and designate space as a strategic industry.
The UK’s asylum system is failing, leaving people fleeing conflict stuck in temporary housing, unable to work, and separated from their loved ones. Our new policy gives practical solutions to clear up the broken system left by the Conservatives.
The Online Safety Act was meant to protect people, yet its flawed implementation risks undermining privacy, free expression, and secure communication. Our new policy addresses our concerns and fights for a digital future where rights are protected.
