The Liberal Democrats have today announced their list of MEP candidates in the South East constituency for the European elections on the 23rd May.
The Liberal Democrats have condemned the Conservative Government for slashing Surrey County Council budget for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) by £4,403.72 per pupil in real terms since 2015, resulting in a loss of specialist provision.
Responding to the news that landlords will lose the right to evict renters without a reason at the end of their fixed-term tenancy, Bedford Borough Liberal Democrat Housing Spokesperson Dean Crofts said "The housing crisis has left many renters at the mercy of their landlords in an unfair and distorted rental market. Section 21 notices have allowed landlords to turf out tenants without reason, leaving many too frightened to complain about poor conditions."
We can now confirm that the Liberal Democrats are fielding 14 candidates in the borough council elections on May 2nd. We have candidates standing in the following wards; Admaston & Bratton, Apley Castle, Brookside, Church Aston & Lilleshall, Dothill, Edgmond & Ercall Magna (2 candidates), The Nedge, Newport North & West, Newport South & East (2 candidates), Park, Shawbirch and Woodside.
Mayor Dave Hodgson will be appearing at the final mayoral election hustings later this week, at Bedford Blues Rugby Club on Goldington Road on Thursday 18th April.
