Matthew Taylor and Robert Plimmer took up the challenge Windsor's Lord Chris Fox issued to all Lib Dem groups to campaign for improvements to their town centres.

The challenge came as Lord Fox, the Lib Dem's parliamentary spokesperson for Business, Enterprise and Industrial Strategy, spoke at the end of the Lib Dem conference debate on Sunday on a policy motion: Town Centres Fit for the Future.

At the Lib Dem's spring conference in York, Dr Vince Cable joked grumbles about regulations from Rome on straight roads etc contributed to Rexit, from which it took York 700 years to recover. York, his home city, did try the Norway option, but that didn't work out very well with the Viking invasion!

For months Slough Lib Dems have campaigned for a People's Vote on the final EU deal, with an option to Remain in the EU. This is the best and quickest way to end the Brexit chaos.

Back in October local Lib Dem campaigners like Matthew Taylor and Jo Hanney (pictured in Langley) found when they provided shoppers with an opportunity to have their say on Brexit, local residents strongly backed a People's Vote, with an option to Remain in the EU.

Excessive one-party control of local councils too often leads to them ignoring sensible points made by anybody else.

Slough Lib Dem campaigner Jo Hanney highlighted this problem in a letter in the Express on Fri 1^st March about the Labour-run Slough Council, and the Tory-run Windsor and Maidenhead Council. She promised in the local elections in May the Lib Dems, and others, would be trying to reduce the one-party excessive rule of each council.

The case for better public services and a People's Vote on Brexit are closely linked.

In a letter to Slough Express, local Lib Dem campaigner Josephine Hanney explained: "Brexit is already causing major problems for our economy, and reduces the money (and staff) for public services, such as health, social care and policing, in Slough and across the country."

Robert Plimmer, Chair of Slough Lib Dems, is proposing ways to make progress in dealing with Slough's housing crisis.

The severe housing shortage in Slough has many causes, including the long-standing Tory policies that have reduced the stock of social housing available, and the actions of Slough Labour party.

A national day of action organised by activists campaigning for the people to have the final say on Brexit took to the streets of Slough on Saturday.

Local Lib Dems joined the all-party event in Slough High Street on Sat 26 Jan. In Sough, as at similar stalls across the country, shoppers strongly supported the idea of the people being allowed to have the final say on the Brexit deal, with an option to remain in the EU.

Slough Lib Dems wish you a very Happy New Year, and report back on key action in Cippenham and Slough during 2018.

Throughout 2018 Slough Lib Dems were busy campaigning on local issues in Cippenham and Slough, and active as part of the national campaign for a People's Vote on the Brexit Deal, with an option to remain in the EU.

Earlier this evening, Paddy Ashdown, former leader of the Liberal Democrats passed away following a short illness.

Our thoughts are with Jane and Paddy's family this evening.

This is a hugely sad day for the Liberal Democrats and for the very many people across political and public life who had immense affection and respect for Paddy.

Throughout 2018 Lib Dems campaigned for a People's Vote on Brexit so we could have a proper debate about the dangers Brexit poses to our NHS. Matthew Taylor explains there are at least 3 main threats:

1. Nurses, doctors, other hospital & social care staff from the EU are already beginning to leave the UK.
2. In any trade deal, President Trump will demand US companies should be able to run parts of our NHS.
3. Any economic damage caused by Brexit will mean there will be less money available for the NHS.
