Enough is Enough! Danny Findlay and the Lib Dems point out the proposed A46 Expressway and all the associated developments will change our villages and countryside for ever.
This plan is taken from the County Council’s “Prospectus for Growth” document. Its key feature is the proposed A46 Expressway slicing through this area opening up more areas for development including the freight depot. We think we should all have been involved long before now.
Use your vote on 3rd May to make sure that your voice is heard!
Say YES to better facilities Say NO to over-development and the new road
Comments can still be made by contacting: strategic.growthplan@leics.gov.uk Comments have to be in before May 10th but we will ensure the argument goes on long after that.
Danny Findlay Says: “With your support we can stand up to what is being proposed . We all need to work together to protect this area. “ “The election on May 3rd is only the start.” “This election will not change the Government or the County Council but it could send a clear message to County Hall that a change of direction is needed and local people’s views should be listened to.” Get in touch with Danny and the Focus Team: dfindlay.liberaldemocrats@outlook.com 07794 764879 Printed, published & promoted by M.

Liberal Democrats Putting Our Area First!
OFFICIAL: Conservatives cost more and deliver less
Local Schools Losing Out
Running Down our Roads Over the next few years the Tory County Council plan to cut huge amounts from the road repairs budget. This will mean more potholes, more patching and fewer proper road repairs. Rural roads in our area are likely to particularly lose out. As your County Councillor Danny Findlay will fight for the improvements to our local roads that residents know are needed.
Our local schools are not being treated fairly! Leicestershire’s schools are some of the lowest funded in the Country. During the Coalition years, Lib Dem Schools Minister David Laws started work on a new formula that would give places like Leicestershire a fairer deal. After the Coalition ended and the Tories took full control, they threw this policy out. This means our local children are missing out on the levels of funding for their education that children elsewhere get.
As your local County Councillor Danny Findlay will make fighting for fair funding for schools a top priority!
Local NHS Under Strain Many people report struggling to get an appointment at the GPs in Stoney Stanton. Our NHS is really over stretched and things are set to get worse with the local West Leicestershire NHS facing having to make a massive £20million of spending cuts. This will put our NHS under even more strain. With our area facing even more development Danny Findlay believes we cannot cope with such huge developments, without the local services like more GPs to go with them.
It’s Danny Findlay or the Tories! It’s Lib Dem or Tory This by-election will be a close fight between Danny Findlay & the Conservative. Labour are a distant third on Leicestershire County Council and won’t win here. Many people are unhappy with the Conservative-run District and County Councils for their huge rises in Council Tax, their cuts to vital services like rural bus services and highways repairs, their cutting of the bin service and their plans for huge development locally without the services to go with them.

Many Labour supporters are lending their vote to Danny Findlay as the only candidate to beat the Tories this time.
Use this by-election to send the County Council a message it cannot ignore:
FINDLAY, Danny
Conservative bosses on Blaby District Council have voted for a new reduced bin service. This was despite a strong campaign by Lib Dems on Blaby Council to keep our existing service. The Conservatives have decided to only empty the refuse and recycling bins fortnightly. People have been shocked to realise that a household that has less than four people in it will have to pay for a larger refuse or recycling bin. People have told us that they are angry that having just received an eye watering rise in their council tax from both the Conservative County Council and Conservative District Council that they will have to pay even more to receive a 50% cut in their refuse service. People continue to believe that these changes will reduce the amount of recycling collected and also lead to bin smells in the hot summer months.
