Tim Farron with Local Campaigner Louise Morales at Woking College

Tim Farron Visits Woking

Tim Farron Visited Woking Woking College for a discussion and questions about the EU Referendum. It was excellent to hear so many young people asking about & understanding the positive reasons for staying in, freedom to travel, excellent negotiating ability as a block rather than a single country on the outside & green policies pushing for a cleaner world over a much larger area than just us on our own, rather than the negative out ideas pushed by some.

6 things we’re fighting for on the Housing Bill

The housing crisis is going from bad to worse in many parts of the country. Action is desperately needed to make housing more affordable for people. We need to ensure we have enough homes in the right places, and that homes are sustainable and decent quality for people to live in. I am leading a large team of Lib Dem peers who are fighting hard to amend the Housing and Planning Bill. We have serious concerns that the Bill will make things worse for people in need of affordable housing, will lead to an increase in homelessness, and will drive up the housing benefit bill.
