Only Lib Dems choose to challenge Government's housing targets
During the run-up to the consultation on Mole Valley's Draft Local Plan, Councillor Stephen Cooksey, Liberal Democrat Leader of Mole Valley, announced his intention to write to the Prime Minister to challenge the hosuing targets imposed by the Government on Mole Valley. The letter draws attention to the comments made by Boris Johnson during the Tory Leadership campaign when he told reporters in Oxshott that "We should not be imposing targets on Councils that they are simply finding it impossible to meet without building on the Green Belt".

And other initiatives to meet our manifesto:
An investment of £200,000 to implement green environmental policies. "We will also increase the number of free 30 minute parking spaces," says Councillor Clayton Wellman, "as well as business and low-paid worker parking permit schemes." "Increasing the grant made to Citizens Advice is a sound and a caring investment because of the support they give to residents in need," says Cllr Hazel Watson. Budget was also set aside for an anti-littering campaign and the deployment of mobile cameras will undoubtedly help stop fly-tipping.

Lib Dems will listen to your views
Council needs resident's views on draft Local Plan and inclusion of Green Belt sites to meet Government targets Liberal Democrat controlled Mole Valley Council is consulting residents on a draft Local Plan. The Council needs an approved Local Plan in order to protect our area from undesirable development. To get approval, the plan must meet the Government target for new housing. This is currently set so high that it can only be met by releasing a small amount of Green Belt land. The Council does not believe this is in the best interests of Mole Valley and will continue trying to get this target cut.

Free To Be Who You Are
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
