Exeter News



Ben Bradshaw MP

The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party. It believes that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many not the few, where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe, and where we live together freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.

Free bus travel for the over 60’s

2 February 2010


Of all the society improving benefits introduced since Labour came to power in 1997, the policy of providing free bus travel for the over 60’s has been amongst the most popular, being enjoyed by some 8 million people. 

With the Tories talking of major cuts in public services if they form the next government, Devon County Council’s Labour Group has called on all parties to show their support for the continuation of the scheme, which is particularly important in Devon with its growing numbers of residents eligible for free bus travel, and its beneficial effects on their health and well being.   Labour is also seeking a pledge to continuation without changing the criteria for eligibility, and also recognising the need to ensure the scheme does not adversely affect the budgets of councils covering major bus hubs.

Labour backs 'Save our Toilets' campaign
26 January 2010

Exeter's Labour Group is backing the campaign to save Exeter's public toilets.  Labour Leader Group Councillor Pete Edwards will propose the Lib Dem run council lifts the threat to public toilets in the city by raising car park charges at tonight’s meeting of the Council's Executive.

He said: "The enormous public response to the proposed cuts to the network of public toilets in the City has given all councillors a clear message - think again.  The Labour Alternative Budget will keep all public toilets open.  I will be calling on the Executive to suspend making a decision on this vital council service so it can be properly debated by all 40 Councillors at the Budget-setting Full Council meeting on February 23rd where I will present the full Labour Alternative Budget."

Who paid for the posters Dave?
16 January 2010

 You can airbrush your photo Dave, but not your policies.

Large posters of Tory leader David Cameron, beautifully made-up and airbrushed, have appeared all over Exeter.  The Tories are also having glossy leaflets delivered to city homes by a commercial company.  But who is paying the bill for all of this?  We challenge Exeter’s Tories to give us an assurance that this poster and leaflet campaign is not being funded by anyone who is domiciled outside the UK for tax purposes.  
 
P.S. The message on the Tory posters is nonsense, so we’ve replaced it with a more relevant message in the image above.  With thanks to gofourth.co.uk.
 

Local Tories show their true colours

13 October 2009

Opposition to plans to provide a public footpath from Shakespeare Road through the new housing development on the Wyvern Barracks site is being supported by the Tory candidate for Priory in the local elections in May 2009.

The proposed footpath, which would cut about half a mile of the current most direct route would, claim opponents, encourage petty crime and anti-social behaviour.  So much for their opinion of people who live around Burnthouse Lane.  While the Tories are happy to have the votes of Burnthouse Lane area residents, they don’t want them getting too close to their expensive new homes.


School Governors Wanted
13 October 2009

School signWe are always looking for volunteers to become school governors particularly if you are a member of the Labour Party. No experience needed as training is available from Devon County Council. You would need to have a CRB check when appointed.  If you are interested in education, or just wish to serve your community, this could be a rewarding experience.
