Local welcome for Lib Dem vision paper launch.
July 17, 2008 5:05 PM
Liberal Democrats in Halewood have welcomed the launch of the Liberal
Democrats' vision for Britain by Party Leader Nick Clegg MP. Called 'Make it
Happen', the paper will be debated at the party's conference in Bournemouth
in September.
In 'Make it Happen' the Liberal Democrats say:
. They will cut taxes for ordinary families
. If your local hospital can't see you on time, they will pay for
treatment elsewhere
. They will switch taxes from people to pollution - so it pays to go
green
. To improve standards in education, they will fund extra help for
those who need it most
. They will put Britain at the heart of Europe to make us a force for
good in the world
. They will stop ID cards so we can keep control of our privacy
. They will change the voting system so everyone's voice counts
. They will bring communities together with local people in charge
. They will give communities a say in how offenders pay for their
crimes
Cllr Dave Smithson said, "I am delighted to be able to back 'Make it
Happen'. It sets out how the Liberal Democrats will run Britain.
"No resident of Halewood has escaped the rising cost of food and fuel. The
credit crunch is biting hard and local people are feeling the pinch.
"Nick Clegg has set out how we can help ordinary people through cutting
taxes on those on low and middle incomes. Thousands of people in Halewood
will benefit from this.
"We are taking the plans in 'Make it Happen' to the people of Halewood
during the summer to get their response. And in September, we will be
heading to the Liberal Democrats' conference where we are looking forward to
taking part in the debate."
