Reading Liberal Democrats

Lib Dem Group Leader, Cllr Daisy Benson said:

“This is terrible news for the people of Reading who will now be facing higher Council Tax bills and unnecessary cuts to services.

“It is also very worrying news for all residents who depend on the Council for help and support.”

“Labour’s pre-election promises were completely unaffordable and will put at risk key services.”

“Lib Dems in administration cut waste and kept Reading’s Libraries,  Children Centres and leisure services open.

“We will be campaigning to ensure they stay that way and to hold Labour to account.”

Commenting, Acting Group Leader Cllr Daisy Benson said:

“Whatever it’s political makeup the Council has a duty to set a legal budget so it is essential local politicians work together for the good of the town.

“Our top priorities are around continuing to protect services to the vulnerable, increasing the supply of affordable housing and increasing opportunities for young people.’

“We are willing to work with any political group that will help us to deliver this.”
