"Slough Council has gone 'downhill' since the successful multi-party coalition administration Richard Stokes led from 2004-2008 was replaced by a single party administration consisting entirely of Slough Labour councillors." This was a key message Mathew Taylor, chair of Slough Lib Dems, highlighted in letters published on 13 Jan in the Slough Express and Slough Observer.
"Slough's Labour councillors have 'bankrupt' the Council, and it's time for them to be replaced, including here in Elliman Ward," says Amjad Abbasi, a local Lib Dem.
"All councillors elected in May 2023 should work together to save Slough. Under a new system all 42 seats on Slough Council will be up for election in May 2023. Therefore, a new council is a chance for the election of some Lib Dem councillors and a new start after the years of failure of Slough Labour councillors running the council so badly." This is the New Year message of hope for Slough from Matthew Taylor, chair of Slough Lib Dems, photographed helping to lead a community litter pick.
In recent days ambulance services across the country have declared "critical incidents", whilst ambulance staff have been urged to conserve oxygen supplies due to a surge in demand, writes Daisy Cooper, MP, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Health & Social Care Spokesperson.
"Slough Lib Dems say residents deserve a better choice than the Labour councillors whose incompetence has bankrupt Slough Council, and Tories whose policies make things even worse for residents." This is the message from Slough Lib Dem chair, Matthew Taylor (see photo).
