Heads or Tails? Yes or No? In or Out? It’s a bit complicated. Here are the liberal candidates for West Bridgford:

Lib Democrats: 3 Candidates Vicky Price (North), Ian Munro, (West) David Turner (South)

Vicky Price West Bridgford North

lives on Stratford Road with a daughter at West Bridgford Infants. Methodist. Digital librarian Nottingham University. Trade Union rep. Against 14% funding cuts for local schools by 2020. Really concerned for europeans living here. Wants to see the improvement of social care.

Vicky says “a hard Brexit will damage our economic future: I want to retain close ties with Europe so that UK voters feel they have a real say on the final terms of the Brexit deal”

Ian Munro

Lives on Loughborough Road, has been here 25 years. A grandparent who worked for Heinz, then as an educational welfare officer and managed a multi agency social inclusion team. Advice worker, helping senior residents get to doctor’s appointments. Member of St Georges GP patient participation group.  Working to improve Air Pollution, Flooding and inadequate drains need action. Thinks homelessness and poverty will increase as a result of Brexit. More NHS investment, more HMRC Inspectors to close tax loopholes.

Dave Turner

Lives on Boundary Road. Married with two sons. Taught at inner city comprehensives supporting pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Deeply believes in independent retailing: our responsibility not to lose these spaces as well as green places: is opposed to the Sharphill development. Fought to preserve West Park and the Pavilion. Captain of Ruddington Cricket Club. Passionate about keeping profit out of the NHS. Member of the QMC League of Friends.

Issues: 500 people on the Social Housing Register in Rushcliffe The Liberal candidates asked if anyone on the council knows if any people on the register could afford to part rent part buy on the new government schemes?

Before the Arena was opened the liberal councillors made it a precondition that  there should be a pelican crossing on Loughborough Road. Lib Dems were against the opening of a Sainsbury’s at the Melton Road garage.

The Lib Dems want economic subsidies to go to small and eco friendly firms

End Off Shore Tax Havens which the conservatives protect

and Trusts that enable the very rich to avoid paying tax on inheritance.
