"No coalition at County Hall" say Liberal Democrats

HU12 is commenting on each election leaflet issued during the South West Holderness election campaign:
"THERE IS NO COALITION AT COUNTY HALL" say the Liberal Democrats as they challenge for the three seats available in the South West Holderness election battle.

The coalition that operates at a national government level is not reflected at County Hall say Liberal Democrats Janet Selkirk, Steve Sloan and Ken Wilson in their Focus on South West Holderness - Election Special leaflet. In fact the Liberal Democrat leaflet is very critical of the party's national allies; one of their priorities is to "End the culture of secrecy and spin" at the Conservative-led council. It declares: "With 46 out of 67 councillors the Tory leadership has been able to push through its own agenda as we know to our cost in this area."

The Liberal Democrats also say that controlling the salaries of senior council staff is a priority. This obviously refers to the highly public case last year when over £360,000 was approved by the council so that a senior officer could take early retirement.

They will also tackle the "backlog of footway and road repairs" and pledge further flood protection measures for South West Holderness.

The leaflet also includes a statement from (previous Ward Councillor) Carole Lynn who explains why her name does not appear on the current list of candidates, and that she is retiring from the council.

On the referendum? The Liberal Democrat Leaflet clearly campaigns for a "YES" vote.

There are 7 other candidates standing in the Ward - 2 Conservative, 3 Labour, and 2 Independents.
