Hospitality businesses are rightly concerned about the Government's Business Rates proposals. I heard from Vicky Colclough of Joule's Brewery the very real impact of the Chancellor's lack of support for pubs. These damaging proposals need to be reversed now - and pubs need to know where they stand.

After more than a year of raising this issue, the dangerous synthetic drug Spice is still blatantly being sold to children online.
The Government must ensure Ofcom fully uses its powers under the Online Safety Act to prevent this, & if the current law cannot stop this then it must be strengthened.

We have a national crisis of illegal waste dumping. My experience in Kidlington showed the urgent need for reform with: a national strategy; a step-change in funding to go after criminals; a clear hotline to report incidents; rapid, joined-up response by agencies.

Liberal Democrats are calling for an urgent rescue plan for NHS dentistry.
Our plan would introduce an emergency scheme to guarantee free dental checkups for children, new mothers, pregnant women and those on low incomes.

As the year ends I want to celebrate Bath’s small businesses which are vital to our city. Yet many face rising business rates & costs.
We @libdems.org.uk have long called for the unfair business rates system to be replaced. We need a system that supports businesses & encourages them to grow.

Local authorities will be relieved the Government will cover special educational needs costs from 2028/29.
But this does not fix the deep-rooted problems that exist.

Last summer Susan Murray won back the seat of Mid Dunbartonshire with a majority of nearly 10,000 over the SNP.
In May, voters in the equivalent seat of Strathkelvin and Bearsden will have a choice, a hardworking local champion in Adam Harley or more of the same with the SNP.
