Until last week the Conservatives hadn’t officially updated the cost of the North West Relief Road in Shrewsbury. Buried in the papers for Full Council tomorrow: it’s more than DOUBLED in price; with no realistic plan of how to pay for it. #letsfixshropshire #64daystoshropshire

Under the Conservatives, every year more money is needed to plug the black hole in Shropshire Council’s finances. Enough is enough. Vote for a fresh start on Thursday 1st May. Vote for you Lib Dem local champion. #letsfixshropshire #65daystofixshropshire

For three years, the brave Ukrainian people have heroically defended their country against Putin’s war machine. Now, more than ever, we must stand firmly in support of our Ukrainian friends, resist Trump's stitch up with Putin and work with our European neighbours to defend freedom and democracy.

Every year the Conservatives tell the people of Shropshire that they have brought the county to the point of bankruptcy, only to “solve” it a few months later… Year after year the same old story. This May vote for a fresh start. Vote for the Lib Dems. #letsfixshropshire #66daystofixshropshire

Another great weekend talking to residents across the town and the surrounding villages. Lots of anger at the Conservative-run council; and disappointment in the newly elected Labour govt. People are ready for change, and are ready to vote for the Lib Dems on Thursday 1st May! #letsfixshropshire

After 1st May Shropshire Council will be run by the Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats. Do you want 4 more broken years of the Conservatives? Or a fresh start with the Liberal Democrats? #letsfixshropshire #69daystofixshropshire

We campaign all year round for residents, not just at election time. Some parties only knock on your door when they want your vote, or not at all! Vote for a party that stays in touch with you and asks you about the local issues that concern you. #letsfixshropshire #70daystofixshropshire

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

“They are not on Twitter, but are in local communities. A typical Lib Dem will be somebody who is good at fixing the church roof. And… people in the community like them.” “the Lib Dems… don’t have much of an ideology other than being nice.” Sounds good to us 🙂 www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/02...

The Conservatives now want to spend £200m on their ‘relief’ road in Shrewsbury (it was supposed to cost £80m!). What else could £200m pay for? #letsfixshropshire #71daystofixshropshire

Excellent response from voters in #Bridgnorth West ward today, where Andrew Sherrington is standing for #LibDems. Almost everyone wants the #Conservatives removed from Shirehall, & local residents know it’s was only the LibDems who could stop the Conservatives from ruining #Shropshire. #UKPolitics

A really positive response for Mark Morris in Church Stretton today, with support for the LibDems clearly in the lead. Voters know only the #LibDems can beat the Conservatives here, and only the LibDems can remove the Conservatives from power at #Shropshire Council. #ChurchStretton

The Conservatives want to spend £200m on 1 four mile road in Shrewsbury. (which they don’t have the money for) There are 74 divisions on Shropshire Council. That’s £2.7m for every community in the county. #letsfixshropshire #72daystofixshropshire

The Conservatives’ North West Relief Road in Shrewsbury is now estimated to cost £200m. What else could £200m fund countywide? (There are just over 3000 miles of road in the whole of Shropshire) #letsfixshropshire #73daystofixshropshire

After pressure from the public and a strong Lib Dem campaign, the Conservatives u-turned on their bureaucratic tip booking system. This week all their candidates for the election are suddenly saying it was always a ‘pilot’, and they were opposed to it. Rubbish! #letsfixshropshire

Shropshire’s Conservatives weren’t willing to give details of their proposed cuts, or to consider cutting their pet projects. We couldn’t in good faith continue in the budget discussions under these circumstances. #letsfixshropshire www.shropshirestar.com/news/transpo...

Shropshire’s Conservatives wanted to sell off car parks in a deal to pay for consultants fees. The Labour group of councillors also backed the plans. Lib Dem councillors called it ‘crazy’, questioned the legality of the scheme and voted against it. #letsfixshropshire #75daystofixshropshire

Suddenly Shropshire’s Conservative councillors and candidates are cheering the scrapping of the tip booking system that THEY introduced. We campaigned against it from day one. We are on the side of Shropshire’s residents. Shropshire’s Conservatives are on the side of Shropshire’s Conservatives.
