Dundee LibDems welcome environment, opportunity and fair taxes message at party conference

September 16, 2007 10:02 PM

Dundee Liberal Democrats today (Sunday 16th September) welcomed news that the party's federal conference this week in Brighton will drive forward the party's strong environmental policies, adopting a roadmap to a carbon neutral Britain by 2050.

Fair taxes and opportunities for all will be other key themes of the week, as the Lib Dems develop and strengthen the party's policy platform in preparation for the next general election, which could be as soon as next month, if media reports are to be believed.

In a message to conference representatives, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell MP said, "This week we will take decisions on a wide range of policy matters: tax, the environment, poverty, and many others.

"These will form the foundation of our election platform. They are a clear demonstration of our determination to change British politics and break with the conservative consensus that we have witnessed in recent years."

Locally, here in Dundee, Liberal Democrat councillor Helen Dick said, "It is the Liberal Democrats who are leading the way on environmental, poverty and fair tax issues. This week's conference will reinforce this."
