Top Tories oppose the NHS A senior Tory politician has caused
outrage by calling the NHS a
mistake. Speaking on a right wing
American TV channel, Daniel
Hannan said the NHS had “made
people iller” and that Britain would
be “better off without the NHS.”
Unfortunately he’s not the only
Conservative who feels this way
about the NHS. A number of Tory MPs expressed similar views about
the NHS is a book published in 2005.
Tam Langley, Lib Dem prospective MP for Lewisham Deptford, said
“Cameron has tried to create a more acceptable image for his party,

Local residents are
fighting plans to cut
services by one third
from Honor Oak and
Brockley. Labour-run Department
for Transport and
Southern Railway
plan 33% cuts in off-
peak and evening
peak time services
to London Bridge,
and cancellation of
off-peak and Sunday
services to Charing
Cross. This
follows recent
news that
Conservative-
run Transport
for London have
secretly scrapped
plans for a service
from Crofton Park to Victoria.
Lib Dems are
campaigning
alongside local
groups such as the
Sydenham Society
to fight these cuts.
A local petition
has already been
signed by over
1,000 Lewisham
residents, and has
been presented to
Lewisham council
by local Lib Demcouncillors. Local
Lib Dems have
also joined protests
at London Bridge
station.
The Lib Dems now
plan to take the cuts
fight to Parliament,
and have started a
petition at http://bit.
ly/1Nje7p.
Tam Langley, Lib
Dem prospective
MP for Lewisham
Deptford, says
‘It’s incredible that
cuts are planned
when better trainservices have been
promised for Honor
Oak and Crofton
Park. Hundreds of
people have already
signed our petition
to stop cuts in the
planned Crofton
Park to Victoria
service. We’ll keep
fighting for better
train services locally
wherever the threat
comes from.’
And Lib Dem campaign to cut crime locally
gathers paceNew figures show that there were over 500 knife enabled crimes
Lewisham in the last year, up 25%, while Labour locally have attacked
Lib Dem plans to cut crime.
The Lewisham Lib Dems campaign to cut crime locally is gathering
pace. Tam Langley, Lib Dem prospective MP for Crofton Park, says
‘Following our last Focus several streets have contacted us to ask for
help setting up a Neighbourhood Watch. We are delighted to help them
– and will continue to offer them our support in future. My colleaguesBarrie and Michele have been meeting local residents and businesses
to see what more we can do to help.
‘If you would like to set up a Neighbourhood Watch scheme then
please do let us know – and we’ll put you in touch with the local Safer
Neighbourhoods team. Equally if you know of crime or anti social
behaviour hotspots locally then let us know and we’ll pass them on.
‘People locally are telling me that they are amazed that Labour is still
thinks that spending hundreds of millions of pounds a year on identity
cards is a better use of money than putting over 10,000 more police on
the beat.’

Barrie Hall
stepped into
the breach
when Labour
mayor Sir
Steve Bullock
pulled out of a
local fun run.
Barrie said,
“When I read
that Sir Steve
had a problem
with his Achilles heel I saw my chance.
I was very pleased with coming in
the top twelve, and will be donating
the money I raise to a local charity for
former servicemen and women and their
families.”

Lib Dems have been
cleaning up Crofton
Park, reporting more
than 15 local problems
to the council in
the last few weeks.
While Lewisham is
still investigating whoowns some derelict
houses, grot spots from
Brockley road to Blythe
Hill have already been
cleared up.’
Barrie Hall, from the
Crofton Park Lib Dem
Focus team, says ‘I’m
delighted that we’ve
cleaned up so many
places already. But
let us know when
you spot more local
problems and we’ll
investigate them. We’re
particularly interested
in derelict houses -
which sometimes turn
out to be propertiesthat Lewisham has
forgotten it owns!’

Lewisham Council makes £1.3millionprofit from controlled parking zonesLib Dems have exposed how
Lewisham Council profits from
controlled parking zones.
Last year, income from controlled
parking zones across the borough
exceeded expenditure by almost
£1.3million. That’s not surprising,
say Lib Dems, given that the charge
for a yearly residents’ permit has
DOUBLED in just one year.
“If the council is making such a big
profit from controlled parking zones, why did they need to
double residents’ permits charges from £30 to £60?” says
Lib Dem campaigner, Barrie Hall. Lib Dem councillors have
requested a breakdown for each parking zone, but the
Council says it doesn’t hold this information.
Barrie says, “This explains why the council refuses to
introduce shorter hours of operation for CPZs – the whole
thing is a profit making exercise.”
Climate Change Action for LewishamLewisham Lib Dems have succeeded in getting the council
to agree to cut their carbon emissions by 10% by the end of
2010.
Lib Dem mayoral candidate Chris Maines says: “I amdelighted that the other parties followed our proposal that
Lewisham should sign up to the 10:10 campaign. While the
Labour-run council has an extremely poor record in recycling,
I’m pleased to say that they have come onside to work with
us on climate change.”
Unemployment doubles in Crofton Park New figures from
Jobcentre Plus show
that over the last year
unemployment in Crofton
Park ward (covering
the most of Honor Oak,
Blythe Hill, Brockley and
Stanstead road areas)
increased by 98%.
Nearby Lib Dem run
Sutton council was
recently commended
by the independent
Audit Commission for
its work helping the
recently unemployed,
but Lewisham’s Labour
Mayor has rejected calls
to introduce a similar
service.
Michele McClarren has
years of experience
helping people back into
work, and is launching
a campaign to tackle
unemployment in
Lewisham.
