A Liberal Democrat Fair Deal for Hertfordshire
The Liberal Democrat vision for Hertfordshire County Council is for a council that people see as on their side, doing better for Hertfordshire’s children with special educational needs, fixing the broken roads and bus services and creating a greener county.
We will fight to increase funding for children with special needs to match that of other councils, increase the numbers of special places for children with SEND in mainstream schools and expand children’s mental health support in schools.
On roads, we will use previously trialed technology to increase the number of potholes that get fixed. We will also provide more local input into what works are done on the roads to ensure that it is targeted at the issues that affect residents.
We will roll out 20mph limits where people want them and introduce safety zones around schools.
To improve the environment, we will expand EV charging and roll out solar panels on council buildings. We will plant at least one tree for every person who lives in Hertfordshire – that’s 1.4 million trees.
This can all be achieved, despite government cuts, by ending the Conservative policy of keeping land and council buildings that have not been used for many years.
