New!
Mon 12th May 2008
On 22nd May, the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea's plans to sell off playing space in Holland Park School to luxury property developers go before the Major Planning committee. Any letters received by the council before this date will be considered by the committee so there is still time to write in - but only just. The plans will see the money raised from the luxury development being used to demolish the entire school and rebuild it on a smaller site.

| Quotes of the Week |

"Liberalism in Britain has lost a great champion, the Liberal Democrats, a great advocate and our public life, a great servant. "
Lord Paddy Ashdown
In memory of Lord Richard Holme, who died on 5 May
"If the Tories want to claim that they are going to cut corporation tax, they have to come clean about how they are going to pay for it. Cutting the main rate of corporation tax to 25% will cost more than £5bn a year. If David Cameron is to have a hope of sounding credible he must state clearly where the money will come from. Otherwise this will be seen as yet another unfunded tax cut. "
