Dear All

Shropshire Council has decided to 'restructure' Highways.

We all knew that was to happen but not when or how! It actually occured on 1^st June and no one told Worthen with Shelve or Chirbury with Brompton Parish Council that we had been 'moved' into Central Division. So now we have unknown officers who do not know our area at all in charge. Wow all that learning and explaining to do….. there are now ongoing discussions about this. It is all a mess and things are still not getting done. If anything its worse. I will keep you updated.

Heather was interviewed today by BBC TV for their Midlands Today Programme and Radio Shropshire about the cuts to bus services threatened by Conservative run Shropshire Council.

Heather said"We have seen our rural bus network seriously pared back over the years. Further cuts would severely impair the ability some of the most vulnerable in society to access key services such as health care in our towns".

1350 (and counting) Liberal Democrat Councillors elected. 703 Councillor gains.

We held control of every Council we were defending. We won control of twelve more.

That officially makes this local election our best ever - smashing through the previous record by a country mile.

Just as good - hundreds of people have joined the Liberal Democrats. It's our fastest day of membership growth in almost two years.
