As usual the Tories are running a short consultation period for an important service. The Park and Ride contract ends in October 2013 and the tender documents are being drawn up now. The survey period has run for just a few weeks and ends on January 5th, so please act now. The survey is online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IpswichPR2012 It will ask you whether the service should continue to run straight through from the Copdock site to Martlesham and vice versa. These were originally two separate services and they both ran in a loop around the town centre. It was much easier ...
Ten days ago I promised to tell you the story of the closure of The Hotel in Church Stretton. But then real life took over - besides, it was not a story for Christmas. The Hotel closed as the result of a fire in 1968 in which five people died. Two were members of staff and the other three were young boys from a family who were staying at The Hotel for a single night before moving to a house in the town. As a South Shropshire Journal article looking back on the fire reminds us: Back in the 1960s, ...
Cambridge MP Julian Huppert Disadvantaged youngsters in Cambridge will benefit from £1.8 million in funding through the Liberal Democrat's Pupil Premium over the next year. The much-needed money will help 2,100 children from poorer backgrounds to get a good start in school. The news has been welcomed by the city's MP Julian Huppert who said the money would make a real difference to children who might otherwise struggle to keep up with their classmates. "I am delighted that through the Pupil Premium we have been able to give every child a fair start," he said. "It is a recognised fact ...
The last Cornwall Local Elections in 2009 gave the following result: Conservative: 50 Liberal Democrat: 38 Independent: 32 Mebyon Kernow: 3 These were the first elections to the new 123 member Unitary Authority. Previously, the Lib Dems had run Cornwall County Council. The 2009 election resulted in a Conservative - Independent coalition. Since 2009, as a result of by-elections and defections, the current makeup of the council is as follows: Conservative: 48 Liberal Democrat: 37 Independent: 31 Mebyon Kernow: 6 Labour: 1 The three main groups have each lost one or two councillors, Mebyon Kernow have doubled their representation and ...
Has it really been a year? Well, not quite – just three days short of a year since my last post. And a lot's happened since then. Most notably, the arrival in March last year of the best little fella you're ever likely to meet – my son Barney. Being a dad's been interesting... I have a lingering self-doubt about whether I'm 'doing it right' – whatever 'right' is. But more prevalent than that is just the simple pleasure of having Barney around – he's such a happy kid, very friendly and open. He loves encountering new people and situations, ...
My parents very kindly gave me a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas,, and it is already becoming clear that it will be especially useful for my studies in 2013, as it is small, lightweight and surprisingly easy to use. There is, however, a down side. I am, as has been noted in the past, a bit too easily distracted, and the discovery of Fruit Ninja, a game in which the player attempts to slice fruit as it flies randomly across the screen, has proved just a little tempting, to the extent that I'm now only missing one blade and a ...
The Liberal Democrats have "undergone a big transformation" since going into government - or so Jeremy Browne told BBC Radio 4's World at One the other day: "If you're a party in opposition, you get used to being oppositionist - you can see this with Labour, even after two and a half in year in opposition they are making a completely wild set of incoherent and uncosted pledges. "We'd been in opposition prior to 2010 for 70 or 80 years, so it's not surprising the way that you become used to the lack of rigour that opposition entails. "We came ...

This is Grimsby has a profile of the long-serving Liberal and Liberal Democrat councillor Andrew De Freitas, who left Guyana as a teenager before he settling in the town: Andrew joined the Liberal Party in 1963, in large part due to his admiration for its leader Jo Grimond. "I would say he is the best Prime Minister we never had. He had foresight and was ahead of his time." He was first elected to Grimsby Council in 1969 at the age of 24, winning a seat in the Humber ward, which is today part of the East Marsh seat. Standing ...

[IMG: Liberal Democrat Voice Logo] Liberal Democrat Voice's annual poll to find the Liberal Voice of the Year is a strange beast. Ostensibly it is a search: "to find the individual or group which has had the biggest impact on liberalism in the past 12 months...looking beyond the ranks of the Lib Dems to find the greatest liberal who's *not* a member of our party." In reality it is a very odd beauty contest between a disparate range of contestants most of whom aren't liberals in any sensible use of that term. Voting in it becomes more a reflection of ...
[IMG: Inside the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, D.C.] Little noticed amongst the late night shenanighans over the US fiscal cliff, was a dastardly deed concerning Hurricane Sandy relief funds. Politico takes up the story: House Republicans abruptly pulled the plug Tuesday night on their promise to take up this week an emergency supplemental disaster aid bill for Northeast states damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The decision is a stunning reversal since just hours before New Jersey lawmakers were preparing for floor debate Wednesday as outlined under a strategy promoted by no less than Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.). ...
One thing that unites our political leaders is a belief in pragmatism. It conveys a positive buzz, which is why politicians like to associate with the concept. But as Alex Worsnip explains on Prospect magazine's blog, "it allows politicians to subtly stifle dissent, and causes us to neglect the most fundamental questions about what our society ought to look like": Tony Blair told us on his election in 1997 that what counts is not "outdated ideology" but "what works." David Cameron famously wrote that he doesn't "believe in 'isms'" because "words like communism, socialism, capitalism and republicanism all conjure up ...
Dear Nick, You don't know me but obviously I know you. I'm writing to you about the Justice and Security Bill and its provisions for Closed Material Procedures (or Secret Courts, as they have become known). In particular, I'd like to ask you to reconsider your reported refusal to meet Jo Shaw and Martin Tod to discuss the party's (and the Government's) approach to the bill. But first, for the sake of background, a bit about me. I'm a relative newbie having (re)joined the party in 2010 (post-election). Since then, I've gradually got more involved within the blogosphere, the local ...

What is cognitive dissonance? To me it means either my values and beliefs are out of line with my actions and/or I'm holding two competing beliefs at once. I've seen this twice recently, and also experienced it myself. To describe how it actually feels, it feels like the scene in Fight Club where the Narrator is waking up to certain facts about Tyler Durden..... and the Tyler character kind of slips in and out of existence. You can feel the static. It's like scraping your teeth against a metal implement by accident or scraping your fingernails down a blackboard. When ...
I have just been sent the SID (Speed Indicator Device) results for December's readings within the ward (downloadable from the link below in PDF format) The device was deployed next to the Vandals rugby field on the 13th of December.

I had a very busy period of work and then Christmas hit — so I failed to post anything here in December. Which means there are one or two things to catch up on as well as the usual task of looking back and then forward that this time of year encourages. So I am planning to write a number of posts over the next week or so and so breathe ...
Today has seen the tenth year in succession of above inflation fare rises for hard-pressed rail users. It has been particularly tough for people who have to commute to London. The UK now has the highest rail fares in Europe. It is possible that mile for mile the St Albans-London route is the most expensive commute in Britain. So I agree with the Campaign for Better Transport that it is high time that above-inflation rises were ended. We have a railway which post-privatisation is structured in a way which increases cost overheads. These ultimately have to be paid for either ...

And now as the minister with responsibility for housing what have I swapped this for? Building regulations conferences. Once he gets down to the serious business he ...

[IMG: fireworks] The fireworks over the Thames that signalled the New Year in London symbolically coincided with a handover of the chairmanship of London Liberal Democrats, as I ended my three years at the helm and Mike Tuffrey - until last May a leading Member of the London Assembly - took over.

I really don't get this unseemly rush back to work south of the border. In Scotland, today is a bank holiday, to allow us to gently recover from our Hogmanay excess and ease ourselves into the New Year. I'm more grateful than usual for the extra day's holiday because we've had to postpone New Year for a day because of a rather unpleasant bug which started to strike us on Sunday. Monday was not nice and it was especially annoying to have to miss seeing the New Year in with our friends. Yesterday was queasy, with underlying menace which lifted ...
Nick Clegg has issued a challenge to Labour in today's Times. Rather than, he says, oppose every single cut the Coalition has made, Labour should be saying what they would cut to pay for their policy priorities. If Labour want benefits to rise at the rate of inflation, then they need to spell out exactly how they would pay for it. Firstly, he talks about what the Coalition has achieved for economic growth, and how it has been pragmatic on cutting the deficit, changing its plans as the global economic circumstances changed: Here in the UK we have now paid ...
After a debate on Twitter the other evening followed by some time to reflect I came up with this.There are two stereotypes that are hyped up by Politicians and the Media at the moment and are two of the biggest scourges of today's society.They are: The Multi-national Rich who hide their money to avoid paying tax - be they company or individual The Benefit Scrounger The former clearly exist and quite notable cases have been named and shamed. The latter is a harder subject. There are benefits cheats, undeniably so. Many of us low paid peons know of someone or ...
Chris White has called on district council officials to produce a report to councillors at the next meeting of the council's Licensing Committee, following reports in the St Albans Review about the level of criminal convictions among taxi drivers in the area.

The public will naturally be anxious and I am hoping that officials can produce a report which will assure people that the situation is under control.' Full text of report here.

Local Liberal Democrat campaigners Sandy Walkington and Chris White have joined calls for an end to above-inflation rail fare increases as further season ticket rises hit St Albans commuters. "After ten years of above-inflation rises, it's time to call a halt," said Sandy Walkington.

The government-sponsored McNulty Review showed that costs can be taken out of the industry and overheads reduced - it's time that travellers see those benefits."

That is up from 2,957 applicants in 2011/12 and 2,037 applicants in 2010/11 and shows a worrying trend that is letting down Dundonians wishing ...

It's great that the government is letting medical researchers access more medical data about diseases. They are both ways you could describe the current government's actual policy.

Many of those potential voters appear to have transferred allegiance to UKIP. On the basis of opinion polling, some commentators are already declaring UKIP the third party of British politics, overtaking the Liberal Democrats. Paul Goodman posted a ...
