Dear Editor

 

May we thank the 6,492 Liverpool residents who voted for Liberal Party candidates in the recent local elections, representing 7.55% of the Liverpool votes cast.

 

This was a greater number of voters than for  the Conservatives, Green or UKIP candidates across the city

 

We in The Liberal Party team will continue to resist this current council’s extensive demolition and clearance programme. We will also campaign to safeguard our parks and playing fields which are being encroached and built upon , with the support of both Lib Dem and Labour Councillors

 

Without doubt whilst the Lib Democrat vote collapsed from 56% to 40% of the vote was due to a series of factors.

 

Without doubt the broken pledge to save our parks and the ongoing demolition programme cost them dearly, in particular in wards like Kensington and Fairfield and Princes Park where they lost seats

 

We urge Cllr Bradley and his colleagues to immediately withdraw and review their current CPO and demolition programme

 

Secondly they should call an immediate halt to developments on our school fields and Victorian Parks.

 

If the Lib Dems continue to ignore these views than they can be assured of further loses at the next local elections

 

Cllrs Steve Radford, Hazel Williams and Chris Lenton
