After Liberal Democrat campaigns last month about NHS charities being nationalised, Jacquie Bell is delighted to see that the Treasury has backed down on the plans. There have been strong protests from Liberal Democrats and others like the Charity Commission - a welcome climb down and a victory for common sense.

Egglescliffe School - The Campaign Goes On
|
|
Fri 5th Feb 2010
Eaglescliffe Liberal Democrat councillors are disappointed to read the long-awaited report to Stockton Council's Cabinet on proposals for secondary schools in Eaglescliffe, Yarm and Ingleby Barwick. The report shows that not only the overflow car park but the nearby allotment site and much of the field below the car park would be needed if Egglescliffe School were to be rebuilt on Preston Park. But the report does not state clearly the many reasons for rejecting the idea of building on Preston Park, a suggestion which has been loudly condemned by residents of Eaglescliffe and across the region. The report states: Development of a school within the park and allotment site…could contribute significantly to realising aspects of the Park Masterplan (e.g. improved community leisure facilities, parking and road layout, visual amenity).

| Quotes of the Week |

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain. "
Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy. "
Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
