Local Councillors call for a safer road at Pennyquick

Twerton Cllrs Gerry Curran & Tim Ball  

We would like your opinion on is road Safety on Pennyquick Hill, in recent weeks we have met with Council officers and asked for a package of road safety measures to be put into place on this road from the Globe to Rush Hill. We are concerned that this road is being used a bye pass and the speeding traffic has cost too many lives in recent years. We want better speed controls and improved signage for a start.

Please let us know what you think? Email us at twerton_Liberaldemocarts@blueyonder.co.uk.

We are fully in support of the parents, staff and governors of Culverhay in their wish to make the school co-educational. This needs to be a community school serving all the young people of our area."

Parents who have both girls and boys want to be able to send their children to the same school. They want a good local school that serves all their needs. Culverhay will make a first class community school for boys and girls. The Local Education Authority will be considering the future of secondary schools across the area in the autumn. We are sending a clear message that as part of the consideration we want Culverhay as a Co-ed.

We have created an online petition for supporters of the campaign to sign. The petition can be found at www.ourcampaign.org.uk/culverhaycoed we would encourage you if you support our campaign to download printable versions of the petition and collect signatures from others who might wish to support making Culverhay School co-educational.

20 MPH call outside

All our Schools

Liberal Democrats are calling for all Schools to have a 20 MPH zone outside of the entrance to the School and on the approach to the Schools.

Here in Twerton local Liberal Democrat Councillors Tim Ball  & Gerry Curran have written to the Highways department,  and have requested that the 20 MPH Zones are introduced at Twerton Infants at Poolemead Road like the one pictured above at St Michael's  Junior on Newton Road.

Gerry Said: "One of the main subjects that came up on the door at the recent local elections was speeding traffic, we need to slow down cars for the sake of all of our Children".

SOS for the NHS

The Liberal Democrats have launched a major national campaign to save the NHS from Labour's cuts and incompetence.

The campaign calls for an end to savage NHS cuts, for the Government to stop wasting billions of pounds of health spending and for local people to have more say over local health services.

But by trying to control every detail of what goes on in the NHS the Labour Government has wasted money and caused a massive wave of cuts.
