Latest news from the Norfolk County Council Liberal Democrats:

Lib Dem Leader Disappointed by Council's 'Work Inexperience Programme' Wed 8th Apr 2009 Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group on the County Council, Paul Morse has expressed his disappointment at the Conservative administration's failure to boost the number of work experience placements being offered by the Council. At Monday's Cabinet meeting Cllr Morse questioned whether the Council had increased the number of work experience placements being offered this academic year. The Liberal Democrats have long been pushing for the County Council to use its position as a large employer to offer more work experience placements.

Lib Dems Welcome County Council's Citizen Advice Bureaux Pledge But Claim It Doesn't Go Far Enough Fri 27th Mar 2009 The Liberal Democrat Group on the County Council have welcomed news that Norfolk County Council will pledge £125,000 to Citizens Advice Bureaux in the County. Nevertheless the Group, which put forward a motion to the Council on 12th May 2008 calling for increased help for Norfolk's debt-laden families, see the latest action by the Conservative Administration as too little too late in countering the effects of the credit crunch upon local people.

New proposals for tackling Norfolk credit crunch unveiled Fri 13th Feb 2009 A set of major new initiatives targeted at helping the neediest Norfolk communities support themselves through the credit crunch will be unveiled on Monday when Liberal Democrats announce their proposals for changing the County Council's future spending plans.

More hands on support needed for debt-laden Norfolk families Mon 19th Jan 2009 New steps to help struggling families through the credit crunch could be undermined unless more is done to build capacity in local debt advice services.

Fears for pedestrian safety in South Norfolk Wed 7th Jan 2009 Concerns were raised today that the safety of pedestrians in South Norfolk, and local school children in particular, could be put in jeopardy if plans for changes at a busy crossing area go ahead as intended by Council decision-makers.

Call to save GP dispensing Mon 24th Nov 2008 More opposition has been raised today to proposals which could see dispensing services cut at many doctors' surgeries across the county.
