Dear friends, here is our latest update covering the period since our last message on 30 October.

POLICE COMMISSIONER’S “LACK OF LEADERSHIP” ON CCTV
Surrey's Police and Crime Panel have unanimously called on Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Lisa Townsend to produce a new CCTV strategy within 3 months, after a cash-strapped Tory Council was forced to decommission its CCTV cameras because of lack of police support.
Surrey Lib Dems condemn “chaotic and incompetent” budget
Surrey Liberal Democrats have accused the Conservative Government of "incompetence and chaos" after the Autumn Statement saw tax hikes and cuts to services for people in Surrey. The Chancellor's measures come in the wake of economic turmoil following the "mini-budget" which saw mortgage rates spike to record levels.
Surrey’s households face on average an extra £584 a month on mortgages
Local Lib Dems demand Government offer mortgage grants to families who risk losing their homes

A New Hope for the Space Industry
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.
Building a Fair Asylum System
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.
A Liberal Vision for Digital Rights
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.
