LibDems voted AGAINST the increase at every opportunity, but on all 5 occasions, Conservative &/or Labour Councillors voted FOR tolls to increase by 15% from £2.60 to £3.00. Either of the 2 big parties could have stopped the increase, but chose not to.
The top concern for many voters in the recent Looe West By-Election, is the lack of affordable housing in South East Cornwall, which is worst in our seaside towns and villages due to the uncontrolled spread of holiday properties.
No, but correctly predicting the consequences of decisions is exactly what MPs should be able to do. Not through some supernatural power, but simply by paying attention and asking the right questions to the right people at the right time.
South East Cornwall's THREE Liberal Democrat Cornwall Councillors ... Left to Right, Cllr Jim Candy (Looe West, Pelynt, Lansallos and Lanteglos), Cllr Hilary Frank (Saltash Essa), Cllr Colin Martin (Lostwithiel)!
There is a dramatic 25% increase on response times compared to figures from 2021/22 nationally – but with no comparison figures available for Devon & Cornwall police due to continued faulty IT systems.
We're immensely proud of this fantastic vote of confidence from the electorate of Looe West, Pelynt, Lansallos and Lanteglos, to elect Jim Candy as their new Liberal Democrat Cornwall Councillor succeeding the late Edwina Hannaford.
