"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."
"Salisbury Liberal Democrats are hosting a Zoom Pub Quiz on Friday 20th November, 2020 from 8:30pm. Chairman and Resident Quizmaster Martin Rosell will host an online pub quiz. This year the quiz has the added bonus of doing it all from the comfort of your own home, guaranteeing a seat and guaranteeing the quality of the catering, although you’ll have to try hard to beat last year’s fish and chip extravaganza."
"MPs have rejected the latest attempt to require imported food meets domestic legal standards from 1 January 2021. MPs voted by 332 to 279 to overturn House of Lords amendment 16 to the Agriculture Bill which sought to ensure trade deals at least match UK domestic animal welfare standards. Fourteen Conservative MPs rebelled against their own party, which did not include a single MP from Wiltshire. "
In the words of the late, great Humphrey Littleton, the Hamster of Time spins around on the Wheel of Eternity and we reach that point of the year where we have another AGM to look forward to.
This year we will be gathering at the Methodist Church in St Edmund’s Church Street on Saturday, November 22nd at 10.30am.
In a change from last year’s format we will be holding the AGM and then enjoying a Canvassing Masterclass with our brilliant campaigners and councillors.
Join us for our regular Pint and Politics evening. Come along and discuss the latest events in Salisbury, Wiltshire and the wider political world.
This is a great way to meet your local Lib Dem team and get involved with what's happening in Salisbury. New faces are always warmly welcomed.
We'll be delighted to see you there!
