Yesterday, we attended Remembrance services that took place across South Glos. The parades were well organised and the services incredibly moving. We are eternally grateful for the opportunity to pay our respects to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. #RemembranceDay

Last week, South Gloucestershire Council’s Labour/Lib Dem coalition warned residents about flying flags in a “divisive” and “intimidating” manner. But we think the administration should spend more time focussing on the things that matter. Full story 👇

Car parking charges in South Glos car parks come into force today. We opposed the charges from Day One, voting against them in the council chamber. Parking charges are bad for residents and bad for businesses. https://t.co/UamsqoZQx8

Motorists will be charged 70p for the first hour in short-stay car parks

We agree with Lib Dem councillor Mike Drew. The Lib Dem/Labour budget is “terrible”. That’s why we voted against it last night. We offered to make it better by diverting almost £2m towards fixing potholes. Sadly, the coalition refused. Story 👇 https://t.co/OJ5d4kjyII

At tonight’s @sgloscouncil meeting, we supported a motion against the government’s ‘family farm tax’. The tax is unfair and the government should be supporting our rural communities. Pleased to add our name to the opposition. 📸: Our rural councillors Becky, Ben and Matthew
