Key Liberal Democrat policies for Merton at the 2005 Geneal Election Axe the Council Tax – Local Income Tax is both fair and affordable. Put patients first – faster diagnosis so your NHS treatment can start more quickly. Free personal care when you need it – no one forced to sell their home to pay for care. £100 per month more for the over 75’s – a million pensioners off means-testing. Free off-peak local bus travel – for all disabled people as well as pensioners. 10,000 more police on the streets – cutting crime and the fear of crime. Cut primary school class sizes – spend the £1.5bn Child Trust Fund when it matters most. No tuition fees, no top-up fees – university affordable for every student. Take climate change seriously – cut pollution, cut congestion, and boost renewable energy. We should not have gone to war in Iraq – it’s time to restore trust in Government.
