    A BIG THANK YOU

     

    We would like to thank everyone who took the time, trouble and effort to vote for us at the recent County Council elections and it was a big disappointment that we did not win at least one of the two seats. With a turnout of only 28% the real winner was voter apathy. We are not giving up and will be watching closely the performance of the two elected councillors, especially if the break their pledge’s and promises they made to you in their Election material.

     

    Once again a big thank you to all of you who supported us

    VOTE ON MAY 2nd FOR A FAIRER SUFFOLK VOTE FAIRBROTHER

    Five good reasons to get out and Vote Liberal Democrat this Thursday 2nd May

    1. We have cancelled plans for a law which would have kept records of all the websites you visit and all the people you communicate with on social media sites – the so-called snooper’s charter. The proposals were an infringement of our privacy that wouldn’t have worked to make us safer, so we said no.


    2. This week’s GDP figures showed the economy is starting, slowly, to get stronger, as we steadily bring borrowing under control and build confidence in Britain again. Liberal Democrats in government have focused on creating jobs and opportunities, especially for young people, and our commitment to a stronger economy is pointing us in the right direction.


    3. Crime is falling – again. It’s one of the untold stories of this government, but crime is lower than at any time since 1981. Of course, many factors affect crime rates but I firmly believe our drive on rehabilitation and treatment in prison and in the community is paying dividends.


    4. Payday comes this week for millions – the first pay cheque to benefit from our £600 tax cut. Everyone who was affected by Gordon Brown’s 10p tax fiasco now pays no tax at all on their wages.


    5. The Green Investment Bank issued its first guarantee this week, enabling the conversion of Drax coal-fired power station to biomass, cutting carbon, creating jobs and shifting us to a cleaner, stronger economy.


    This is what Liberal Democrats have achieved in government and of course, our councillors are, quite frankly, better than the others!


    Look at the record of Labour and Conservative councils and you’ll find shocking stories of waste and inefficiency while services local people rely on are cut. One fact is illustrative: no Lib Dem council has closed a library this year, only councils run by the other parties.


    SO THIS THURSDAY VOTE FOR STEPHANIE & DERRICK FAIRBROTHER FOR A FAIRER SUFFFOLK

    Library Open Day Success

    Derrick and Stephanie both attended Kesgrave Library’s open day on the 13th April which was a very big success, which goes to prove how much people care about our library. A friends group is in the process of being set up, but it’s not to late to get involved. The library service is now run by the Industrial Provident Society, but most of its funding still comes from the County Council and If we are elected we will fight to make sure that the money required to run the library service is fully met by the County Council.
