Under the Liberal Democrats, Winchester City Council is moving ahead.
While other councils are forced to slash services and the failed Conservative Government just makes things worse, the Liberal Democrat City Council is taking action to tackle the climate emergency, investing to improve our city and town centres, recycling more, and helping people through the cost-of-living crisis.
There’s still much to do.
We know that the Council works best when it works alongside local people. Working together, the Liberal Democrats believe we can address the challenges our area faces and look forward confidently to a greener, stronger, fairer future for the Winchester District.
Martin Tod, Liberal Democrat Leader of Winchester City Council
With the cost of living continuing to rise and tax bills at their highest in decades, the Lib Dems have worked hard to improve services while holding costs down.
We need urgent action to tackle the climate emergency. After years of Conservative foot-dragging – and their repeated attempts to slow down our plans, we have to go greener, faster.
Our high streets are doing well, but it’s still a challenging time for businesses across our area. We’re working to bring vital investment into our district - protecting local jobs, supporting businesses and reinvigorating our high streets.
After years of Conservative neglect of the NHS, the Lib Dems are working hard to protect local health services and make our area a healthier place to live.
Under the Lib Dems, the City Council is building new council homes and putting in place a ‘local plan’ to ensure we get the right houses in the right places to meet need while protecting green spaces.
