Parliamentary Candidate Slams Eco Town at Saffron Walden AGM10.11.00pm GMT Wed 2nd Dec 2009
"Liberal Democrats can look forward to 2010 with optimism," said local parliamentary candidate Peter Wilcock at the Annual General Meeting of Saffron Walden Constituency Liberal Democrats on 27th November. "Opinion polls consistently show that Labour is likely to lose the general election that must, by law, be held within the first half of 2010, but they do not show the commanding lead that the Conservatives need to be sure of an overall majority. Polls also show that, under Nick Clegg, the Lib Dems are now much stronger than at this point in previous parliaments." Locally, the Conservatives, who lead Uttlesford District Council, are in disarray over their plan to build an eco-town near Elsenham. Expert reports commissioned by the Council point to serious problems associated with transport and water supply. The Tories are also blindly pushing on with their plans for massive housing development in Broomfield. Local Liberal Democrats have vigorously opposed both plans, and put forward sustainable alternatives to meet local housing needs. Peter Wilcock led a team of local activists who helped Liberal Democrat Dave Hodgson win the mayoral election in Bedford - the last major test of public opinion before the General Election. At the AGM the following members were elected to the Constituency Party Executive to serve for the calendar year 2010: Chair - David Morgan Vice-Chair - Melvin Caton Secretary - Liz Jones Treasurer - Alan Thawley Membership Secretary - Marion Dyer Executive Committee Member - Ben Davies Executive Committee Member - Richard Freeman You can contact the Executive on info@saffronwaldenlibdems.org.uk
