City of Wolverhampton Liberal Democrats

There is huge anger with the Conservatives, especially in blue wall seats. Traditional, decent, 'one nation' Conservative voters are turning away from them.

People are angry about access to healthcare, about cuts to police, and - of course - sewage in local rivers and on beaches. Not to mention Partygate and sleeze.

Harry Marston, the Lib Dem's youthful candidate in Bushbury North, has delivered election leaflets in his area.

He has been campaigning for better facilities for young people in the City and denounced the announcement that The Way will be suspending all evening and weekend sessions until further notice as a failure to deliver for the youth of the City.

Ian Jenkins, the Lib Dem candidate for Bushbury South and Low Hill in the City Council elections on 5th May, has delivered an election address to voters.

As well as highlighting some of his campaigns in the area Ian wrote:

We need our local Councillors to help us during these tough times by keeping Council Tax down. Instead, your Labour controlled City Council continues to waste money. For example, they spent £480,000 on replacing the barrier down the Stafford Road when repairing the old one would have been perfectly adequate.

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have both been fined for breaking Covid laws. Laws they wrote and we followed.

While people made countless sacrifices to protect each other, there were parties in Downing Street. They think they're above the law.

If Boris Johnson won't resign, Conservative MPs must sack the Prime Minister.

Thank you

With nominations now closed for the May elections, many thanks to everyone who has put in so much work to getting candidates approved, selected and safely nominated. From a first look at the numbers, we've seen a good increase in our candidate totals in Scotland and Wales, with the numbers broadly the same in England compared with last time.

We now have a criminal Prime Minister.

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have both been fined for breaking Covid laws. Laws they wrote, and you followed.

While we made countless sacrifices to protect each other, they were partying in Downing Street. They think they're above the law.

Neither of them are fit to hold office. If Boris Johnson won't resign, Conservative MPs must sack the Prime Minister.

Wolverhampton Liberal Democrats have accused the City Council of failing local youth with the suspension of evening and weekends sessions at the only youth centre in the City.

The Way Wolverhampton Youth Zone is a City centre based charity that supports young people from Wolverhampton.

Opened in 2016, it is for all backgrounds, for all abilities, for all of the community and supposed to be for 364 days a year.

Life's been tough for lots of people over the past few years. And it's still tough. But with their trademark decency and strength, the British people are rising to the challenge. Raising families. Caring for others. And playing by the rules.

Now more than ever, it's time for a fair deal.

Yet with the rising cost of living, this Conservative Government is letting you down badly and taking you for granted.

15 years ago, Scotland abandoned First Past the Post for local government elections and adopted a form of proportional representation. This has led to an end to 'one party states' and more power for voters. Scotland found that fair votes brought better democracy.

Proportional representation allows voters to express their preferences not only between parties but also within them. This means that councillors no longer have the option to be distant and unaccountable without consequences.

Bushbury Focus Team have started to deliver their Spring Focus. It features a campaign for safer ways to cross Stafford Road and success in getting Aldi to install bollards to deter poor customer parking and getting Severn Trent Water to replace a damaged manhole cover.
