Dear Editor

This year the Lib Dems credibility has taken another nose dive.

The claimed Mathew Festival is little more than a shallow imitation.

However there are other major sources of resentment and a real sense of betrayal

We can all recall thier pledge to save our parks, nationally the Lib Dems are pledged to save school playfields

The reality we have seem major incursions into Stanley Park, the lego land school destroying the Victorian outlook of Newsham Park, the battle to rob residents of Dixie Dean Playing Fields and build on Tunnel; Road Fields

Now on 4th September we have the Lib Dem Bulldozers being lined up to build a new school and joint community school library on Bankfield Playing Fields

They call it regeneration, but the head of libraries made little secret that as soon as the library is built on Bankfield then Lister Drive and Larkhill libraries would be closed. So they claim closing two libraries and destoying a playing field is regeneration do they?

Everyone accepts a new single site school is needed, we urged council officials consider buying up land on the Lister Drive estate from the sale of the current two sites. Lister Drive area would better cope with transport with better car and bus access,it would also have the advantage of being closer to open space at Newsham Park and better placed to exploit trarining opportunities in the nearby Wavertree Tech Park

Instead Council officers sought to misled us that the land was more expensive at Lister Drive, when we asked to see the costing our officers were incapable or unwilling to do so

We urge residents join us and protest at the Planning Committee on 4th September from 10.00 in the Town Hall , dale Street, lets see if there is even one honest Liberal Democrat willing to vote to save our parks and playing fields

The saddest thing is that the only difference we can expect from a Labour Council is they wouldn't insult us by trying to decieve us about their willingness to build on our Parks and playing fields
