This converted canal warehouse forms part of Leicester College's Abbey Park Campus and stands beside what was once, and may be again, Memory Lane Wharf. I say "may be again" because pontoon moorings have been installed and, says Towpath Talk, there are greater ambitions: Waterways and wellbeing charity, Canal & River Trust, working in partnership with Leicester City Council, has submitted plans for new boat moorings to be created at the city's historic Memory Lane Wharf, enabling boaters to stop off and explore the city. The plans, which have been drawn up in consultation with the Inland Waterways Association, would ...
Today Scottish political leaders paid tribute to the Queen's 70 year reign. This is what Alex Cole-Hamilton had to say: During the Queen's reign she has seen 14 Prime Ministers come and go and has met with 13 out of the last 14 US Presidents. She has represented this country and the Commonwealth around the world with unfaltering poise and distinction. In a world that can sometimes seem sadly and increasingly defined by shallow self-interest, Her Majesty has long served as an exquisite example of the best of Britishness: humility, service, dedication to duty, dignity, and forbearance. She has been ...
Catching up on this from earlier in the week: In an exclusive interview with PoliticsHome's podcast The Rundown this week, Sir Ed Davey said he wanted to win enough seats at an election to help build a Parliament where "different parties put their ideas together" and replace what he called this "indecent government". While he said there had been no formal discussions with Labour about an election pact or a coalition, he said it was simply "rational behaviour" for both parties to put their resources where they have the best chance of winning... Davey told PoliticsHome his party does intend ...
As the nation gets ready to either throw themselves into bunting and street parties or steadfastly ignore what is going on, Ed Davey paid tribute to the Queen: I would like to pay tribute to Her Majesty's remarkable reign which has been the bedrock of our country for the past 70 years. The Queen has led our country through both good and challenging times, and for that we owe Her Majesty a great gratitude. One of the particular joys of any royal Jubilee is seeing how it brings people together. In every corner of our country from Caithness to Cornwall, ...

Of course, members may be honoured for their professional as well as their political achievements, so do please tell us of anyone we should be congratulating. Drop an email to voice@libdemvoice.org and we'll add them to this post. * Mary Reid is a contributing editor on Lib Dem Voice. She was a councillor in Kingston upon Thames, where she is still very active with the local party, and is the Hon President of Kingston Lib Dems.
A week ago, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey joined members of the House of Commons in paying tribute to the Queen. Davey said: "The whole country will agree that our Queen has more than fulfilled her promises made to our nation. With her sense of selflessness and her steadfast commitment to the nation, these values and her service have defined Her Majesty's seven-decade reign and will continue to define her. The unwavering nature of her service and duty is made all the more remarkable by the length of Her Majesty's reign." Reminiscing about the silver jubilee, he said: "My strongest ...

The main consequence of Tory MP. Tobias Ellwood's call for Boris Johnson's government to take the UK back into the EU single market to help ease the cost of living crisis, is that he has effectively scuppered his chances of leading the Conservative Party for some considerable time. Nevertheless, he is right. The defence select committee chair, said Brexit had left British business "strangled" by red tape - insisting that it was time to "think outside the box". He has urged the government to look again at forging a Norway-style relationship with the EU, allowing access to the single market ...
Ed Davey, Sarah Olney and the by-election campaign team are calling for help in Tiverton and Honiton this weekend to ensure that Richard Foord is elected three weeks today. Postal votes land on doormats in just a few days. There are volunteer activities in the constituency and regular Maraphone sessions. Both Davey and Olney will be campaigning in the constituency over the weekend. Ed Davey said: Across the constituency, it's clear that lifelong Conservative voters are fed up with Boris Johnson's lies and deceit. They're ready for a change and are switching their votes to the Liberal Democrats. But the ...
Residents recently highlighted to us that the notice boards on Magdalen Green badly need cleaned and also really ancient out of date notices (eg evening classes spring 2021!) need removed. See photo below : We raised this with the council's Head of Environment who has promised this will be attended to.
