We were disappointed with Labour for voting against the motion to stop changes to the Winter Fuel Allowance. The motion jointly put forward by the Liberal Democrats and the Conservative Councillor was turned down at Full Council on 23rd September.
We are greatly saddened by the loss of Celia Jordan at the age of ninety. She was Mayor of Warrington in 2007/8 and awarded an MBE for services to the community in 2005.
Hospices provide compassionate end of life care for hundreds of thousands of people each year, while easing pressure on overstretched NHS hospitals. After years of underfunding and rising costs, our new policy will secure the future of hospice care.
Hospitality businesses are vital for jobs, economic growth, and thriving communities – our new policy backs hospitality, helping pubs, cafés, restaurants, and hotels not just survive, but thrive - supporting local jobs and boosting the economy.
Skills shortages are holding back our economy, while investment in training has plummeted and opportunities to re-skill remain out of reach for too many people. Our reforms will give everyone the tools, support, and confidence to succeed at any age.
