The Liberal Democrat Manifesto for Colchester 2010

Since we took over the running of Colchester Council in 2008, we’ve been doing our best to make Colchester a better place for everyone.

After years of Tory failure we’ve:

  • Cut back the development of flats, and got developers building houses

  • Reversed Tory cuts to the to the hours of free bus passes

  • Got work started on a new A12 junction to the north of Colchester

  • Committed the Council to building new council houses

  • Ensured that Colchester will soon get a permanent Park and Ride

  • Begun work on a new multi-million pound Business Incubation Centre

  • Supported and assisted the Roman Circus appeal

  • Brought in the lowest Council Tax rise ever in Colchester’s history

We’ve helped residents and businesses keep their heads above water as the global recession has begun to bite, and we’ve stood up and fought for Colchester regionally, nationally and internationally. The Carnival’s even returned to Colchester’s streets!

There’s more to do, and that’s why we’re asking for your support in this year’s elections, so we can do even more for our Borough in the future. We know that we’re in tough financial times, and there are limits to what the Council can do, but we’ll ensure the Council does the best for everyone in Colchester with what resources it has available.

We believe the people of Colchester, not bureaucrats in Chelmsford or Whitehall, know what’s best for them. Decisions that affect Colchester should be made in Colchester, and we’ll campaign for your right to decide whether Colchester should become a Unitary Authority.  This would mean that the people of Colchester would control services such as schools, roads and social care, and decide local priorities.

Inside this manifesto you’ll find more about what we want to do for the people of Colchester. We want to the Council to ensure fairness throughout Colchester Borough, creating a place that everyone can feel part of and proud of.
