Liberal Democrats offer fair solutions to real problems in Greenwich Borough.

May 3, 2005 12:54 AM

Ahead of Polling Day this Thursday, 5th May 2005, the Greenwich Borough Liberal Democrat candidates have outlined their fair solutions to the real problems and stresses that people face in life. In this election it is the Liberal Democrats who are the real alternative to Labour.

Chris Le Breton, Lib Dem Candidate for Greenwich and Woolwich, said:

"Labour is running scared of the Liberal Democrats, but it's too late. It is Tony Blair's Government who imposed tuition fees and top up fees on students. The Liberal Democrats will scrap university tuition fees.

"It is his Government which hands out derisory poverty pensions. Liberal Democrats will raise pensions by £100 a month for the over 75s and end the discrimination against women in the pensions system about which Labour has nothing at all to say."

Ian Gerrard, Lib Dem Candidate for Eltham, said:

"It is Tony Blair's Government which has tied up our hospitals with targets. The Liberal Democrats will end the artificial targets and let doctors and nurses get on with the job. And we will end the hidden waiting lists so that people get diagnosed and treated quickly and efficiently.

"Blair's Government will waste billions on compulsory Identity Cards. The Liberal Democrats will put 10,000 more police on the streets instead.

"It is his Government which will waste billions on the Child Trust Fund. The Liberal Democrats will put 21,000 new primary school teachers in the classroom instead."

Dr Steven Toole, Lib Dem Candidate for Erith and Thamesmead, said:

"It is only the Liberal Democrats who stood up to Tony Blair over Iraq.

"Only the Liberal Democrats who put the environment at the heart of all our thinking. Only the Liberal Democrats who have a permanent solution to unfair and fundamentally flawed Council Tax.

"It is time for a real alternative that offers real solutions to the real problems and stresses that people face in life in Greenwich Borough. That real alternative is the Liberal Democrats."
