Cambridge Liberal Democrats have launched their manifesto for this year’s city council elections, to be held on the same day as the General Election, Thursday May 6th.

The party is preparing to contest the 17 seats on Cambridge City Council which are up for election.

Ian Nimmo-Smith, Cambridge City Council leader said: “In our manifesto, we renew our vision for Cambridge and our commitment to fairness in these challenging economic times.

“We are celebrating 10 years in control of the city council and during that time we have transformed the basic services; we promise to fight to protect these services and continue to work with residents to shape the way the city develops.”

Sian Reid, Cambridge City Executive Councillor for Climate Change and Growth said: “We will continue our commitment to providing affordable homes close to transport links and nurturing the local economy.

“At the same time, we will insist on environmentally sustainable solutions to ensure fairness for the city’s future generations and reinforce our commitment to tackling climate change.”
