Inverclyde Council

EDM number 1070 in 2003-04, proposed by David Cairns on 28/04/2004.

That this House notes that 1st May marks the first anniversary of the election of a Liberal Democrat Council in Inverclyde; further notes that in the past 12 months the council has systematically broken most of its election pledges, including those to keep open Wellington Academy, to find alternative funding for new schools, to deny tenants a vote on the future of council housing and to oppose salary increases for council officers; condemns their decision to cut school clothing grants to poor families, reduce funding to vital community groups and close public toilets; expresses astonishment that Liberal councillors now publicly admit that they did not think through the implications of their decisions to cut services while stashing millions of pounds away in a war chest; and regrets the combination of incompetence and arrogance that have become the hallmark of the council leadership, while letting down the people of Inverclyde.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
