Responding to calls from housing charity Shelter for more social housing, Bedford Borough Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Housing Dean Crofts said "Conservative Ministers have neglected social housing for far too long. The housing crisis is leaving people unable to afford a home of their own or, even worse, without a roof over their head. Councils building social homes for rent is not only the quickest and most cost-effective way to produce the maximum amount of homes, but it is so important due to the secure tenancy they offer vulnerable tenants."
Everyone at Bedford Liberal Democrats would like to wish you a happy, healthy and successful 2019.
The Council wants to know what local residents think about its proposed 'Capital Programme'. This sets out how the Council invests money on schemes and projects to improve Bedford Borough.
The Liberal Democrats have tabled an amendment to the Government's Plan B calling on the Government to prepare for a people's vote with an option to remain in the EU. The amendment, supported by all Liberal Democrat MPs, also calls on the Conservative Government "to take all necessary steps to rule out a No-Deal scenario".
Liberal Democrat Councillor Jake Sampson spoke to Bedford Radio about his experiences with his mother who is deaf. Jake said that through his mother he sees the world with a different lens, "The world that I see as an individual with no disability, is very different to my mother. Not many people understand disability generally".
