Wiltshire Lib Dems launch their plan for Wiltshire’s recovery
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 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.
The manifesto was put through a series of policy workshops and conferences, which is indicative of the party's plan to lead Wiltshire.
Offering a message of hope and recovery, the party plans to shift the focus to the needs of residents across Wiltshire rather than the needs of Wiltshire Council.
The launch comes on the same day that the party has criticised the Tory-led council for hiking council tax by the highest amount.
The LibDems criticised the move as it will hit residents and businesses the hardest at a time when they need support.
