Lib-Dem's Visionary Manifesto for Warwick District.

On Tuesday I headed down to Leamington Town Hall for the launch of our Manifesto for the Warwick District Council elections to be held on Thursday May 3rd.

This sets out our vision for the district for the next four years, building on our legacy of jointly running one of Britain's top performing councils. Priorities include, helping to provide more affordable homes in the area, making our towns cleaner, greener, safer and promoting stronger communities. We would ensure that half of all new developments would be affordable homes, promote energy conservation and continued development of our world class leisure and culture.

Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, Cllr Alan Boad said, "If you have a secure home, your children's educational achievements and your health will be better. If you mess up peoples start in life they will be doomed forever. This is the very foundation of a strong community."

I believe this manifesto presents an exciting vision for the future of Warwick District with some exciting projects in the pipeline to help support the newer creative industries that will help offset recent losses at Ford. Other proposals include further regeneration of the 'old town' in Leamington. You can read the manifesto in full here.
