ANGER AT CHANGES TO BUS SERVICE 75
Mon 13th Oct 2008
Patchway Liberal Democrat Councillors Geoff and Jan Woodley, supported by Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate John Kiely have attacked plans by First Group to cut the route of the bus service number 75 from parts of Patchway altogether. The plans will also see the bus service terminate at the Centre in Bristol, leaving local bus passengers having to get a second bus for journeys onto Hartcliffe and Bedminister.

Lib Dem's win in Downend by-election
Sat 23rd Aug 2008
Downend Liberal Democrats are celebrating the election of their excellent new Councillor, Craig Whittaker in the Downend West by-election. Craig stood on a platform of saving local bus services cuts, improved cleansing at the Willows shopping centre and reducing rat run traffic. We also heard directly from Downend residents their anger at rising taxes and household bills. Many local residents expressed surprise that the Tory run Council failed to put forward a candidate, maybe they did not want to have to explain why their Parliamentary Candidate voted to downgrade Frenchay?

| Quotes of the Week |

"In another anniversary speech [Nick Clegg] outlined some of the ways the £12bn wasted on the cut in VAT could have been spent. His proposals included funding for insulation and energy efficiency and reopening old railway lines. That sounds to me like a better use of fiscal stimulus on the eve of an era where public spending is going to get eyewateringly tight. "
Steve Richards
Opinion column, The Independent - 23 December
"We don't need an inquiry to know where the blame lies for the invasion of Iraq five and a half years ago. The Government voted for this disastrous war, Gordon Brown signed the cheques and the Tories cheered them on. "
