Wales Home continues its coverage of Lib Dem Conference. Yesterday, the FSB’s Russell Lawson wrote in praise of Lib Dem campaigning to scrap the Severn Bridge toll.
It’s astonishing that, in these increasingly tough economic times, the Government should be viewing these crossings simply as a cash cow for the Treasury. They seem oblivious to the impact on small business and motorists of hiking up charges just as the downturn is starting to bite. At least one party, the Welsh Liberal Democrats, seems to recognise this and is starting to turn the screw on a bridge too far.
Today, they publish a piece by Ali Goldsworthy about What Nick should do next in his set piece speech that wraps up Conference tomorrow.
THE Liberal Democrats are an optimistic bunch: it’s hard wired into our philosophy. It’s why we support the freedom of the individual, it’s why we trust that they will make the right decisions. Tomorrow, we’ll be trusting that Nick Clegg will make a few more good decisions in his speech to the party faithful.
