Liberal Democrats holding Camden Council to account
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg (left) joined Camden's Keith Moffitt for the launch of our 2010 campaign manifesto.
|
With 13 councillors, Liberal Democrats are the main opposition party on Camden Council and will hold the new Labour administration to account on behalf of local residents. We'll aim to defend the advances made in the four years we led the Council from 2006 to 2010, and to promote the pledges set out in our manifesto for the May 2010 elections to make Camden fair, green and safe:
-
A freeze on council tax and a commitment to keep it down in future.
-
At least one new secondary school and a new primary school
-
Investment in more jobs, more cycling and less carbon.
-
1,000 new homes and 7,000 kitchens and bathrooms for tenants.
-
More police on your streets.
-
A council that is on your side, not on your back.

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate. "
