Tory mismanagement loses city £1.3m investment
I am deeply disappointed that the SWLEP has confirmed the reallocation of the People Friendly Salisbury Scheme funds to Chippenham.

"8pm, 27th January: An evening of stimulating discussion on building Citizens’ Britain: a country where every voice is heard, and where we work together to solve the problems we face. Dr Ian Kearns, Director of Social Liberal Forum, about SLF’s mission to ‘campaign for a Citizens' Britain, one characterised by a massive transfer of power from remote and unaccountable corporations and state institutions to people and their communities.’"
"The Victoria Charleston and the Wiltshire Liberal Democrats have written to John Glen MP to express our severe concern over the handling of the People Friendly Salisbury scheme. This comes after it has been revealed that the decision to reallocate Salisbury's £1.3M funding to other parts of Wiltshire had already been made by the SWLEP. "
Wiltshire Council has taken the decision to suspend the People Friendly Salisbury scheme indefinitely from the end of this month.
Salisbury is at loggerheads: both physically in terms of the gridlock on our roads, and politically as the community argues valiantly with Conservative run Wiltshire Council about how best to organise our city.
"The Liberal Democrats have warned John Glen should “be ashamed” for voting against measures to protect high environmental and animal welfare standards. Conservative MPs rejected amendments to the Agriculture Bill [04/11/2020] which would have forced the UK Government to ensure that British food and animal welfare standards are maintained in any trade deals."
In the face of divisive and destructive politics, it is more important than ever that the Liberal Democrats continue to offer a liberal alternative.
