Tesco

Broxtowe Borough Council last night voted to grant planning permission for a new Tesco store in Beeston. The vote went 6-4 in favour of Tesco, with both the Lib-Dems and Conservatives being split on the issue (only 1 Labour Councillor turned up and he voted in favour of the scheme).

Great Results For The Lib-Dems

It's been a great set of election results in Broxtowe for the Liberal Democrats. Despite one of the dirtiest campaigns ever by the Tories, we achieved every one of our goals. We won all five seats that we targetted and we pushed Labours overall share of the vote well into third place. It's now abundently clear that Labour aren't going to win the Broxtowe parliamentary seta next time and the only way to stop the Tories is by voting Lib-Dem.

We won both seats in Bramcote and Stapleford, we won Kimberley and Trowell, we won Beeston North and we won in Eastwood. In the Beeston north borough council by election as well we won that, with our candidate Barbara Carr polling more than 50% of the vote.

Our parliamentary spokesperson David Watts said:
"This has been a great day for us and a very bad day for Labour." It's clear that the Labour Party are on their way out in Broxtowe. This is two elections in a row where they have come third, both in terms of seats won (or not won today) and in terms of votes cast. The only credible challenge to the Conservatives now in Broxtowe comes from the Liberal Democrats."

Election Day

Tomorrow is election day. depending on where you live you have either two or three votes to cast.

The whole constituency has a vote on the European elections. Here you vote for the party.

For the County elections the Lib-Dems are contesting every seat except Nuthall where we endorse Sue Wildey as being the best candidate.

In Beeston North there is also a by election for the Borough Council. Our candidate is Barbara Carr.

Every vote counts in these elections. Use them to help get rid of Gordon Browns government and to drive the Lib-Dems ever forward.
