Warrington Liberal Democrats have selected Cllr Bob Barr and Cllr Stefan Krizanac to stand as the candidates for Warrington South and Warrington North in the General Election. Both these candidates stood in the 2015 election.
The major planning applications to build 770 houses on Homes and Community Agency Land in Grappenhall and Appleton were deferred by Warrington's Development Management Committee on Wednesday night. This followed sustained pressure from Liberal Democrat Councillors led by Ryan Bate, Judith Wheeler and Bob Barr, to ensure that the community has a say on how these areas are developed and what infrastructure must be in place before new homes are occupied.
The Liberal Democrats are accusing the Council of gagging them by refusing to allow their questions on the Council's Budget and other issues to be taken at the Council Meeting. The Council has also withdrawn a motion on Housing Infrastructure which was published in the Council's Summons.
The letter that everyone has just received about their Council Tax payments contains a misleading and inaccurate figure about Adult Social Care payments.
The Labour Group on Warrington Council sided with the Tories and refused to back a Liberal Democrat proposal criticising Government Education policy.
The Centre for Cities, often quoted by Warrington's Labour leaders, when they talk about the town's success, has shown that Warrington is the most unequal "city" in the North West. This is shameful, given that they class Warrington as the only "High-Wage, Low-Welfare" "city" south of Edinburgh and North of Cambridge.
