This had occured in Nottingham, however at the time the Labour Government required local authorities to build certain quotas of new houses annually. The Coalition has since scrapped this requirement.
We successfully stopped the proposed marina going ahead with the help of local residents, we will need that help again in fighting future developments.

This is yet another example of how Lib Dems contradict themselves. They agree that we need to make cuts on one hand but waste huge amounts of money on traffic islands no-body wants on the other.

Residents, Conservative Councillors and Shop Keepers received a mass of applause and cheers from the crowd as they delivered passionate speeches and compelling evidence against the Sainsbury's proposal.
The Labour Chairman struggled to keep order and eventually caved-in to the mighty will of the vast number of local residents. They cheered on their representatives and booed the Sainsbury's representative who attempted to respond to each case made against their proposal.

Conservative Councillors Martyn Barber and Peter Papworth have long campaigned against this proposed development for some time and make specific objections to the size of the facility that Sainsbury's wish to build.
All parties are agreed that Crosby Village requires regeneration but this proposal was clearly unacceptable.

The Liberal Democrats have confused the public by sending out mixed messages over the Sainsbury's Development. Initially they produced a Focus leaflet claiming that they were against the so-called 'Crosbry's' development. They then suddenly changed their minds after the election and fully supported the proposals. On the night of the meeting many residents found their motives behind this move extremely questionable. Especially when pitted against such intense and emotional opposition, they still defied the people to vote in favour of the development. All with the exception of one; Lib Dem Councillor Jim Byrne who abstained. A signal of the Lib Dem retreat to their comfort zone sitting on the fence.
Luckily for residents, the Conservative Councillors' leadership on the issue had gained enough support from Labour to win the vote and reject the proposal.

This issue may not directly affect residents in Sefton East, but they should certainly be aware of the true nature of the Lib Dem Councillors who have clearly lost their democratic perspective on who they are supposed to represent.

The following candidates were re-selected to fight in the 2011 elections:

Alex Orme: Park Ward
John Jarvis: Molyneux Ward
Wendy Moore: Sudell Ward

We would like to thank all those who voted for us in the recent elections and to assure them that we will fight even harder over the next year.
Although we did not win in the last election, our Candidates fought a strong campaign which nearly doubled our vote in the East Parishes.

We are fighting to represent you as your next local Councillors. We are campaigning for:

• Lower Council Tax for Maghull and Lydiate residents who pay the highest rates in Sefton for poor services in comparision to the rest of Sefton.
• Better local services and amenities for young people to reduce anti-social behaviour and to promote sport and community service.
• Stronger penalties and strategies to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour as we feel Labour has made us too soft on crime.
• The preservation of our green belt and rural areas from over-development.
• An NHS walk-in centre for the East Parishes.

Unfortunately the general election resulted in Labour holding the Sefton Central Constituency with an MP from Kent who was parachuted into the constituency weeks before the election with no understanding of local issues.
This means that local people will have to rely more on local representatives who understand the issues that are important to them in their area.

As we now have a Conservative led Government, we would be happy to campaign directly to Conservative policy-makers for issues concerning you if you do not feel confident in your current MP.

We will fight all year-round for you.

However, the Conservatives are not going away. We were so encouraged by the amount of support we received in the east wards we are forming new working parties to demonstrate the commitment we have for the area.

A very big thank you to all of you who supported Debi, Wendy, Tom and Alex on May 6th. We now want to show you that the support you gave us is appreciated and we will be working to demonstrate that your confidence in us is justified.

This is not like any previous manifesto you’ve seen from a British political party.

The Conservative Party is saying that no government on its own can solve the big problems we face – everyone's going to have to get involved.

It’s an invitation to...

• be your own boss
  
• sack your MP
  
• run your own school
  
• own your own home
  
• veto council tax rises
  
• vote for your police
  
• save your local pub or post office.

The central idea in this manifesto is that we're all in this together, that working together we can change the country for the better:

We won’t get the economy moving with a jobs tax and higher government spending – we need to help businesses create jobs.

We won’t solve our social problems with more big government – we need to build the Big Society where families are strong and communities are safe.

And we’ll never change politics if we leave it to the Westminster politicians – we need to give people real power and control over their lives.

Here they are seen outside the Scotch Piper in Lydiate taking some well earned refreshment before continuing their canvassing and leafleting of the area.

They have shown that they're more interested in personal attacks on the people who create hundreds of thousands of jobs than engaging with the arguments. Alistair Darling has been forced to admit that his plans will lead to what he calls "manageable" job losses, but he refuses to publish the Treasury's analysis of how many people would lose their jobs.

As well as having the right argument on the economy, we've also got the big idea for the future of our country. We believe that Labour's big government has failed, and that it's time to build the Big Society.

"If the people whose job it is to control our borders don’t think the Government is doing a good job on immigration then why should the rest of us?", said Chris Grayling, the Shadow Home Secretary who was recently in East Wards of Sefton Central.

The results, from the 2009 Civil Service People Survey, show that:

• Fewer than one in four staff think that the UK Border Agency (UKBA) is well managed. When asked whether the organisation was changing for the better, four out of five staff members disagreed.
  
• Only half of employees say they have the tools and information ‘I need to do my job well.’ Most say that poor performers are allowed to get away with it, less than a third 'think management have a clear view of the future’, and only one in four say that they are sufficiently motivated to do their job.
  
• As a final insult, only one in four say that they think the staff survey will make any difference to management at the Agency.
  
• Net immigration has tripled under Labour, and it is estimated that there are now around 700,000 illegal immigrants hiding out in Britain.
  
• The UKBA was set up by the Labour Government in 2008.

"The reality is that we have a Government that has presided over unsustainable levels of immigration and has completely failed to control our borders", Grayling added.

"A Conservative Government will introduce much tighter controls and will get net immigration back down to the levels of the 1990s – tens of thousands a year instead of the hundreds of thousands we’ve seen under Labour."]]> National News http://www.seftoneastcons.org/comment.php?comment.news.20 Admin Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:14:40 -0400 http://www.seftoneastcons.org/news.php?item.20.4
