South Cambs Elections - it's time for change!

9.41.12am UTC (GMT +0000) Sun 20th Apr 2008

On May 1st District Council elections will be held in 19 wards across South Cambridgeshire.

Voters across South Cambs are getting tired of the slow progress made by the ruling Conservative group. It is time for a change, time to give the Liberal Democrats the opportunity to bring the strong positive leadership that will be essential in managing the recovery of the Council.

The government inspectors have again examined the Conservative administration, and found areas that are failing. There is little chance of SCDC making progress whilst this inexperienced group lack vision and stumble from one mistake to another.

May 1st is your opportunity to say enough of this bungling and vote for a better way - the Lib Dem way.

The Lib Dems would:

Make environmental considerations a key factor in all policies and decisions

Ensure all new communities are built to the highest environmental and sustainability standards

Protect rural communities through incentives for business, enhanced public transport and support for local facilities

Give priority to the provision of affordable housing for rent and protect the rights of existing tenants in the debate over the future of council housing

Encourage a proper level of policing, and provide facilities and support to tackle the causes of anti social behaviour

Ensure that the District Council is an efficient organisation delivering the highest quality services.
