All year round they say one thing and yet do another, all year round they fail to deliver on their promises, and all year round they have supported the Tories by failing to oppose Tory policies.
ALL YEAR ROUND THEY SAY ONE THING AND YET DO ANOTHER
-
Residents Parking – Lib Dems say your parking will be £10 cheaper but fail to tell you that that is only if 60% of residents sign-up to pay online.
-
Green waste – Lib Dems claim to be fighting the introduction of green waste charges but but did not support Labour's motion to abolish them.
-
Service cuts – Lib Dems claim to be fighting cuts to services such as buses and waste collection but voted in favour of the Tory budget.
ALL YEAR ROUND THEY FAIL TO DELIVER ON THEIR PROMISES
Lib Dems promise much but deliver little. Meanwhile they take credit for the work of Labour councillors from neighbouring wards on restoring bus services. The Lib Dems don’t deliver for Eastcott or for Swindon because they can’t. Pledges made in 2012 at the last election time include:
-
No more split homes – hasn’t happened.
-
A neighbourhood plan written by Eastcott people – didn’t happen, no longer mentioned.
-
Action on dog fouling – still no action, still more promises.
-
Good use for Stagecoach site – Stagecoach are still onsite in Eastcott causing problems for local people.
-
Drastically cut parking permit prices – still hasn’t happened.
AND ALL YEAR ROUND THEY HAVE SUPPORTED THE TORIES BY FAILING TO OPPOSE:
-
the threatened cuts to the Old Town Library service.
-
the Arts Centre being taken out of council control.
-
the threatened giveaway of Croft Fields and Lydiard Park.
-
the £40 green waste charge.
