'This is the first gift we have received' said a delighted Charles Kennedy as he and his wife, Sarah, received a suitably attired Rupert Bear from Dr Anne Lee, Woking Liberal Democrat's Parliamentary spokesperson on a recent visit to Surrey.
Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy and his wife Sarah have announced they are expecting their first child in April.
As a Guest Speaker at the Woking Community Relations Forum, Dr Lee spoke to a packed room at the Maybury Centre last night. She said " Woking has a wonderful mixed community of many religions and cultures. Our rich cultural life in Woking is not assisted by Daily Mail-type scare stories about asylum seekers. As the town has the oldest Mosque in the country what happens in Woking matters. There are many good examples of work going on in Woking which encourage all sections of the community to work together with support from groups such as the One World Week to be held later this month".
Commenting on the launch of an online map to tell homeowners about flooding risks in England and Wales, Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, said:
At the Southampton City Council meeting on the 6th October 2004 the minority Liberal Democrat administration plans to repeat the Eastleigh Borough Council very successful recycling scheme were defeated and the costly alternative will hit Southampton Council Tax payers hard, in fact to the tune of £750,000 per year.
