Our government will tell you that there are more police officers than ever and yet seeing them out patrolling seems to be getting less and less frequent.
I have been Mayor of Peterborough now for around six weeks. It’s been a busy time but also very enjoyable
Last minute opposition from Conservative caused the Combined Authority's Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP) to be deferred at last week's meeting of the CPCA Board in Huntingdon.
I am really proud to take on the role and to be the first ever Liberal Democrat mayor of Peterborough, writes councillor Nick Sandford.
What are the Liberal Democrats really for?? With our fantastic local election wins of 407 council seats across the country, meaning that for every 8 Labour or 7 Conservatives there are 5 Lib Dem Councillors, Peterborough Liberal Democrats paused to remind
Now we know the results of this year's local elections, we can all return to normality and concentrate on getting our city running the way it should be

Skills shortages are holding back our economy, while investment in training has plummeted and opportunities to re-skill remain out of reach for too many people. Our reforms will give everyone the tools, support, and confidence to succeed at any age.
Liberal Democrats have passed bold new policy to put public health at the heart of gambling regulation. These reforms would save lives, raise hundreds of millions for NHS treatment, and finally hold the industry to account.
