Supporting the Liberal Party
With Labour tearing itself apart and being hijacked by the far left we need an alternative
Unlike the Lib Dems who sold out to the Tory Party, the continuing Liberal Party have stuck to our principles. We support a dynamic economy, encourage individual enterprise, promote social justice and the development of individuals and communities. Here are a few of our key policies:
Europe and the World We respect the vote of the people and their decision to leave the EU.
We also wish to be more focused in the global economy, forging relationships across the world, whilst maintaining and evolving our relationship with the EU.
Social Justice and Low Pay We believe that government should tackle the gross inequalities of earnings and wealth.
Income Tax and National Insurance thresholds should be raised to remove those on low pay from the tax and benefits trap, to improve the disposable income of the working poor and low paid pensioners.
Help for Small Business For an economy to grow we must encourage small businesses and social enterprises.
The ever-increasing ‘red tape’ burdens of administration on small business and community charities is strangling our ability to grow the economy. These burdens need to be removed for small businesses and social enterprises and made proportionate for medium size and larger organisations depending on their turnover value.
Education for All We should restore the principle of Free Education.
Tuition fees need to be abolished;
these could be funded by a modest increment of inheritance tax excluding the family home. Let the capital of one generation fund the human investment of the next generation. And a comprehensive network of children centres is an essential investment to ensure children get a good start in both education and health.
Housing for all
Whilst Liberals welcome home ownership we also recognise the need to provide social mobility. A reasonable and balanced housing stock of social and private housing is required. Everyone should be entitled to a decent home. Local councils should be empowered to take steps considering the housing market in their area. We need legislation to protect leaseholders and shared ownership tenants from excessive charges.
Crime and Community Policing
Our jails are overcrowded, and we have one of the worst re-offending rates for criminals than any other European Country. We need a justice system that trains and has those who commit crime working in the community to repay their debt, not just locked up. We also need support for those with mental health problems who so often end up caught up in crime.

A General Election has been called on the 12th December.
Neil Taylor, former Councillor for the Timperley Ward in Trafford will be standing for Altrincham and Sale West.
Taylor has been and will continue to campaign to protect our greenbelt and green spaces.
The LibDems and Conservatives claim to want to protect the green belt, but they are pressing forward and backing HS2 which will destroy ancient woodlands, communities and green space.
Neil also believes:
• HS2 is over budget and should be stopped the money could be better spent elsewhere.
• Fox Hunting should remain banned, at the last general election the Conservatives wanted to bring back fox hunting.
• In free TV Licence for the over 75s.
• In more investment in our roads and infrastructure.
• We need to help and support the homeless.
• In disability access for all.

Your local Conservatives voted AGAINST protecting our green space
At a recent full council meeting your local Conservatives voted AGAINST PROTECTING YOUR GREEN SPACE,, and greenbelt land such as that at Timperley Wedge and Carrington. This also includes urban green space, trees and vegetation.
The local Conservatives are saying one thing, but doing another.
Here is what your local Conservatives voted against, in full.
This Council notes the contrasting statements from National Government and GM in relation to assessed housing need in the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF).
The council also notes the many delays in revising the document, which still contains the release of significant amounts of green belt. Council recognises that the revised GMSF reduces the number of units on the greenbelt. However, Council is concerned that Trafford is still loosing large areas of green belt land.
Council notes that in November 2018’s Climate Emergency motion, all parties agreed that the impacts of climate change, are so severe that governments at all levels must work together and make this their top priority. In the same decision, Council also committed to seek advice from experts to develop a carbon budget and set a challenging target date for carbon neutrality in Trafford.
This commitment to meeting our climate change responsibilities means that:
(i) We must do what we can to protect all our greenspaces, in particular greenbelt land such as that at Timperley Wedge and Carrington. This also includes urban green space, trees and vegetation.
(ii) We must protect natural carbon sinks like the wetlands at Carrington Moss and elsewhere, as well as Sites of Biological Importance.
(iii) We must ask for massively increased support for public and active transport.
(iv) Trafford Council cannot commit to the increase in air travel projected in this draft of the GMSF.
