We are proud of Nottinghamshire. We are ambitious for Nottinghamshire’s future.
For Liberal Democrats investing in our county starts with investing in Nottinghamshire’s people. Skills and training are key.
Nottinghamshire is a growing county. Liberal Democrats believe in building communities, not just houses. The infrastructure and community facilities are vital.
Manufacturing has been central to the Midlands’ prosperity in the past. We believe it has a significant role to play in the region’s economy in the future.
We are campaigning for central government to make up for the loss of EU funding for training schemes and economic development.
Farming and the rural economy must not be neglected. We are calling for central government to give smaller farms the support they need.
Liberal Democrats will continue to campaign against cuts to Nottinghamshire’s Fire Service. We call for a review of the effects of the cuts to fire stations made in 2018.
All County Council staff should be paid at least the “real living wage” recommended by the Living Wage Foundation.
Education is always a priority for Liberal Democrats. The County Council must take action to ensure there will be enough places at good local schools.
Youth services in Nottinghamshire have suffered severe cuts. The County Council could and should do more to protect these services for young people. Liberal Democrats will redirect money away from vanity projects to our youth services and schools.
Nottinghamshire is a great place but the opportunities and benefits of living here are unevenly distributed. We will work tirelessly to reduce the inequalities that exist across Nottinghamshire, building a county that works for everyone.
