Slough’s better off REMAINING in the EU
It will be good for Slough if the UK votes to REMAIN in the EU in the referendum on 23rd June. This is the message from the Slough Lib Dems in a campaign spearheaded by Josephine Hanney, long-time Slough resident.
Her team has been out leafleting in various areas of Slough including parts of Langley, Upton and East Slough. The message is clear says Josephine: 'on a whole range of issues including jobs, protecting our environment and combating terrorism more is to be gained than lost by continuing to work with partners within the EU. Slough is just the type of town with high-tech industries that benefits most from the fact that the UK receives the lion's share of the EU's investment in Research & Development.'
The local Lib Dems recognise that many people have become fed up with slogans during the referendum campaign and would like to see more detailed information. Josephine says: 'a guide from the European Movement provides a lot of useful information, and starts with a quiz that tests how much we already know about the issues. I recommend looking at it if you'd like to know more': http://euromove.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/EU-Basics_Euromove_WEB.pdf
Josephine also praised the work of Catherine Bearder, the Lib Dem Member of the European Parliament, who recently won the Green Ribbon Political Award recognising her outstanding environmental achievements in fighting for stronger European targets to tackle air pollution. Catherine's work highlights the benefits of working together in Europe to tackle problems such as pollution that do not stop at national borders.
