Lib Dem Manifesto for Teignbridge May 2019
Community action to keep our area connected, protected and green.
"The Liberal Democrats are ready and keen to regain control of Teignbridge Council on May 2nd. We have a strong team of able, experienced and diverse candidates.
In this manifesto, we demonstrate our forward-thinking and responsible, costed programme, which will produce a CONNECTED, PROTECTED and GREEN COUNCIL FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.
Our priorities are:
- Genuinely affordable homes to buy or to rent for local people and tougher negotiations with developers;
- working closely with Police to tackle anti-social behaviour;
- getting serious about environmental protection providing clean streets, better recycling and fighting climate change;
- a business-friendly attitude, encouraging entrepreneurs;
- open and transparent decision-making, brought closer to residents; and,
- valuing and protecting our public services.
We will work with communities and Town and Parish councils to deliver for residents.
We will bring meetings to our towns and devolve activity away from the Council offices in Newton Abbot.
We will provide open and honest local government. We will act with financial responsibility.
We will never forget it's your money the council spends.
If you share these views, vote LIB DEM on May 2nd.
We are the only realistic alternative to another four years of the Conservatives."
Gordon Hook
Leader of the Lib Dems on Teignbridge Council
March 2019.

Polling week is coming up and we need you in Brecon and Radnorshire to help us win and get Jane Dodds elected to Parliament.
It's incredibly helpful for the team if we know where volunteers are going so we can best prepare leaflets, canvassing packs and clerical work.
So RSVP here to let us know when you can join us.

This time next week, Vince Cable will be the former leader of the Liberal Democrats.
Ballots close at 1pm on Monday 22nd July. That means you have six days to have your say on where our party goes next.
Later that day, either Ed Davey or Jo Swinson will be announced as our party's new leader. They're both fantastic candidates and either would make a fine leader for the Lib Dems going forward. You can find out more about their plans for our party here:

By Jane Dodds
It's been equal parts incredible, exhausting and humbling to be at the centre of a massive Lib Dem parliamentary by-election.
I'm honoured to join a select group of people who get the full national parliamentary by-election treatment, with the best of the best Lib Dem campaigners in the country fighting to get me elected.

As I write this on Friday, I am about to set off for Brecon and Radnorshire, to help the brilliant Jane Dodds campaign in the by-election. It will be my third visit since the Recall petition first started. Make no bones about it, Jane is a brilliant candidate and our team there is outstanding, but we need more people to help over the next few weeks: we have a tough fight on our hands in a very rural seat. We need more people to help deliver leaflets, knock on doors and help with clerical work. Please, please, come and help. Postal votes land on doorsteps, and we need to call on postal voters this coming weekend, before many voters go on holiday.

World Population Day is an opportunity to put reproductive rights and issues of gender equality firmly on the global agenda. This year, period poverty must be front and centre of the conversation.
If the UK Conservative government are serious about eradicating period poverty by 2030 then they must use this opportunity to ensure ending period poverty is in the minds of every single world leader. The Conservative government have a duty to do all they can to end the injustice and stigma surrounding periods in the UK and across the globe.

When we think of great moments of political upheaval, social change and protests for justice, the images which often come to mind are marches. There is something acutely powerful about seeing so many come together to create, for one moment in time, a community of like-minded people. A crowd which passionately believes in a common cause will have its cause noticed. Marches become beacons of free speech and spawn mass movements which captivate people's attention.
