Rushcliffe Liberal Democrats

I introduced a bill in Parliament to legalise cannabis for recreational and medicine use. The evidence is clear - prohibition isn't working.

It is total hypocrisy that the most dangerous drug of all, in terms of harm to yourself and others, alcohol, is consumed in large quantities right here in our national Parliament, whilst we criminalise others for using a less dangerous drug - with many using it for the relief of pain.

We are facing a crisis of mental health issues in our schools.

A toxic combination of exams, which needlessly heap pressure onto pupils from a young age; unhealthy competition between schools, leaving teachers dreading the next Ofsted inspection; and funding cuts which mean numbers of school nurses have been reduced, is having devastating consequences.

National Conservatives Con

In February this year Rushcliffe Council welcomed a £9.9 million grant for Fairham Pastures. This would fund the road/tram route through the approved estate and would pump start the building. This was from a quango set up by the Conservatives managing the 'Housing Infrastructure Fund'.

The County Council proposes a takeover of Rushcliffe [and the other 6 District Councils]. The City Council proposes a takeover of West Bridgford amongst others in the conurbation.

So what does the Conservative Rushcliffe Council Leader do in the Council meeting on 6^th December?

He did not comment on the County proposed super-tanker. Proposing a rejection of the City proposal, he attacked the City Council with details stating it is in debt and providing poor services. Ignoring the level of poverty in the City, he described the performance of schools in the City as very poor. Yet Offsted has reported a dramatic increase of City schools being good or outstanding to 82% compared with 89% in the County. Another Conservative, Neil Clarke, called the Nottingham City Centre as a ghost town.
