Gloucestershire’s Liberal Democrats have revealed their exciting shadow cabinet, with a wealth of experience both in and out of local government.

Just weeks after the County Council elections Gloucestershire Conservatives effectively drop their commitment to plant 35 million trees despite promising to do so repeatedly in the run-up to polling day.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for the Government to scrap proposed legislation that could disenfranchise millions of voters, including nearly 50,000 in Gloucestershire.

The Liberal Democrats are giving control back to Gloucestershire’s communities over the speed in their local neighbourhoods.

Councillor Iain Dobie is calling on this council to write to the Government demanding a resolution to the adult social care funding crisis that has remained unresolved for more than half a decade.

Councillor Colin Hay is calling for a local inquiry into the County Council’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has seen more than 1,000 residents lose their lives, including over 400 in our county’s care homes.

Councillor Hodgkinson calls for a root and branch review into why Gloucestershire’s roads have lost their civic pride. 

With all children in all schools returning today, the county’s very first school street scheme continues to protect pupils at Warden Hill School.

County Council Conservatives have increased parking charges across Gloucestershire, meanwhile the Liberal Democrats successfully cancelled all residential parking permit increases proposed in Tory budget.

A double spread listing all the parking price increases!

At last week’s Full Council, the Cabinet Member responsible for Climate Change admitted that they have yet to oversee a single tree being planted, meaning they are now running more than 1.3 million trees behind schedule.
