Liberal Democrats in Aylesbury will be packing their bags this week to head off to the party’s spring conference in Harrogate. Doors to the conference will open on the evening of Friday 6th March. It will close on Sunday 8th with a speech from party leader, Nick Clegg MP.
Those attending from Aylesbury include Cllr Steven Lambert, Cllr Mary Baldwin, Cllr Alan Sherwell, Liberal Democrat local party chairman Julian Newman, Aylesbury Liberal Democrat President Sharon Bowles MEP and Aylesbury Liberal Youth member Emily Benbow.
“We are really looking forward to going to the conference,” said Cllr Steven Lambert. “There are some great debates coming up and the chance to refresh our campaigning on local issues. Our Shadow Chancellor Vince Cable will once again, be talking on the economy and conference will be rounded off with a speech by Nick Clegg.”
Cllr Alan Sherwell, leader of the Liberal Democrats at AVDC said “At our last conference in September, we debated and agreed the national policy framework, ‘Make it Happen’ which set out our major policies ranging from Tax reform to green policies, ID cards and financial stability. This conference builds on that and there will be debates on reforming the banks and the financial sector, skills and higher education, schools, prisons and childcare.”
Cllr Mary Baldwin, Leader of the Liberal Democrats at Buckinghamshire County Council said “in addition to Nick Clegg and Vince Cable, there will be a speech by Howard Dean, who campaigned to win the US Presidential nomination for the Democrats in 2004. Though Mr Dean did not win the nomination, he is widely regarded as having dramatically changed and improved campaigning on the internet. “This will all make for an interesting conference.”
