Local Liberal Democrat councillors recently asked the Council to spend some money to improve Carlton Parade and the northern end of Orpington High Street. The Council were proposing to spend this money to improve the middle of the High Street but a grant meant that they did not have to. Incredibly, Bromley Tories voted against the money being spent in our area and it goes back in the bank. Cllr David McBride said, "This proves what many residents have felt about Bromley Tories. They do not care about this area at all."

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain. "
Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary
