Local Liberal Democrats have today expressed surprise at Michael Howard's decision to visit Welford Road Police station. During the last Conservative Government Michael Howard was the Minister personally responsible for cutting the number of police despite his promise to deliver more.
Commenting on the selection by the Conservatives of Chris Heaton-Harris MEP, Stuart Bray the Lib Dem Agent for Leicester South said:
Lib Dem local campaigner Cllr Parmjit Gill today visited Eyres Monsell Community Centre with Shadow Cabinet Minister for Work and Pensions Steve Webb MP and local councillor Mark Farmer. The Lib Dem team met with local pensioners at the community centre for lunch to discuss community matters. Top concerns for local residents are the closure of local Post Offices and the Labour candidate's record of closing homes for the elderly in Leicester.
The Liberal Democrats are committed to rebuilding the trust and compassion that the UK was once known for. We believe that our country has a responsibility to support those in need, no matter where they are in the world.
For too long, years of neglect and mismanagement by the previous Conservative Government have pushed our prison system into a deep crisis.
The Liberal Democrats have long championed proportional representation, advocating for a voting system where every vote truly counts. We believe that reforming our electoral system is crucial for a fairer democracy and better governance.
