The liberals have announced the manifesto for Southampton.

They have not given any clues what they propose for the city. They have four pledges.

They are going to keep in touch all year, so you get a leaflet which they admit they lie in.

They are going to protect vital services. Which ones, they have already said they wish to cut bin collections?

Set a fair council tax. Yet the Conservatives have proposed lower tax and cuts in tax, is that not fairer?

And be open and accountable. Whoops they introduced a parking policy which would charge people to park outside their house without any consultation.

In the article they accuse the Conservatives of being less than honest over the bin collection. We have said for 5 years we will keep the weekly bin collection, we have voted on it and put it in our budgets. Equally over parking, we have said all along we will not charge people who do not pay.

They really should pay attention.
