Lib Dem Plans for a Better Cambridgeshire

8.55.54pm GMT Tue 5th Apr 2005

Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats have launched their manifesto for the 2005 County Council Elections, to be held on the same day as the General Election - Thursday May 5th.

A Liberal Democrat-run Cambridgeshire will …

• Increase funding for education, towards the national average

• Increase the number of police on our streets as fast as the budget increases

• Invest in preventative social services rather than waiting for crises

• Increase funding to the Youth Service by £ 1 million

• Make the bus network more reliable, efficient and competitive

• Provide good value for taxpayers' money

• Keep existing libraries open, extend opening hours and improve book stock

• Give the public the right to ask questions at Council meetings

• Promote schemes to support walking and cycling

• Oppose the Guided Bus project

• Provide more grants for voluntary organisations
