Liberal Democrat Councillor for Thorplands, Cllr Meredith, is receiving an award for overcoming his dyslexia and making a positive contribution to the community. Councillor Meredith was elected to Northampton Borough Council in 2007 and Northamptonshire County Council in 2009 and returned in 2013. He recently published his autobiography, entitled "My Life - the way I see it". He will receive the award from the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education in Leicester on the 22nd May.
The Leader of the Liberal Democrat Opposition at County Hall has slammed the Conservatives and Labour after they united to remove the Liberal Democrats from the Police and Crime Panel, despite the Liberal Democrats being entitled to a place under the law.
Cllr Glynane said "It is clear that the Conservatives and Labour are stitching this up to protect the Conservative Police Commissioner from scrutiny. Remember the Labour party supported the Conservative Police Commissioner's budget that cut funds for 45 frontline police officers and spent £800k of taxpayers cash on Conservative political cronies. Only the Liberal Democrats didn't back it, and it is the Liberal Democrats who are the people who led the charge in exposing and opposing the Police Commissioner's cronyism."
