Brian Mathew. LIBERAL Democrats have called for a green recovery in Wiltshire. The party outlined plans in their manifesto, Leading Wiltshire’s Recovery, which calls for a new Wiltshire Climate Strategy to achieve the county’s target of a zero carbon Wiltshire by 2030. This plan will evolve through consultation with local residents, organisations and environmental groups to make sure it works for everyone. Additionally, the party plans to attract businesses to Wiltshire through supporting an enterprise culture, and running programmes to help local people become entrepreneurs. The recovery plan is aimed at supporting all communities and ensure they benefit from a skilled workforce, attractive locations, improved transport links and excellent network connectivity.
Ian Thorn Liberal Democrat Group Leader WILTSHIRE Lib Dems have launched their plan for Wiltshire’s recovery. In a manifesto for May’s local election titled ‘Leading Wiltshire’s Recovery’ the party says its programme puts residents, communities, businesses and the environment at the heart of decision making. Key points include plans to make Wiltshire net zero carbon by 2030, creating an enterprise culture across Wiltshire to attract businesses, and to prioritise providing the same access to mental and physical health care. The plan also outlines plans to reboot local democracy and involve residents, businesses and local communities in key decisions using citizen’s assemblies to discuss future council budgets and development in the county.
