Shepway District Council have commissioned contamination surveys at Princes Parade this week. The tests will involve sinking at least 7 boreholes, digging a series of sample pits and taking soil water and gas samples on 17 & 18 June.
Two motions to Shepway Full Council from newly elected Sandgate & West Folkestone District Councillor Rory Love for their 17th June meeting.
News that the new SNP contingent at Westminster do not seem able to comprehend the convention that clapping a speaker is simply 'not done' might reflect an intention to make themselves so unpopular with the rest of the country that we would be only too glad to get rid of them, next time they can force a referendum on the topic.
After this year's election, the upcoming Conference in Bournemouth is one for all members to attend. I wanted to invite you to join me and other Liberal Democrats there this September.
It is with shock and sadness that Shepway Liberal Democrats have heard today of the death of David Dickinson.
From today, the paper counterpart to the photocard driving licence will not be valid and will no longer be issued by DVLA. The counterpart was introduced to display driving licence details that could not be included on the photocard. These details include some vehicle categories you are entitled to drive and any endorsement/penalty points.
It is with great sadness that Shepway Liberal Democrats heard of the death of Folkestone Town Councillor Paul Marsh over the weekend.
I was probably wrong; or at least partly so.
Many thanks to everyone that attended our New Members Welcome Event on Saturday: it was lovely to see you. What's great to see is how diverse (and numerous!) our new members are - astoundingly the Shepway Lib Dem membership has soared by a third since the General Election! If you weren't able to be there, don't worry - we've got another event coming up on 18th July: see below!
The UK is facing a mental health emergency. Liberal Democrats have a proud record of pushing Britain’s mental health services forward. Now we are offering the bold solutions we need to fight the crisis unfolding in our communities.
British universities are a world-leading export and an engine for innovation, but today, the sector is at a breaking point. Liberal Democrats have passed a new plan to deliver a fairer deal for students and graduates and secure the future of the sector.
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
Ed Davey is a husband, a father and a carer. He is the Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
It is Ed’s experience of caring that drives much of his politics, and motivates his tireless campaigning for a fair deal.
Meet our representatives and candidates.
