Derbyshire Dales Liberal Democrats are calling on the Chancellor to protect education spending, as shocking new figures show that schools in Derbyshire face cuts in their spending power of £12 million next year.
In a report presented to the Derbyshire County Council Health and Well-being Board in October, it was acknowledged that there are over 1,000 'excess deaths' in Derbyshire that can be attributed to air pollution. Air pollutants come from a variety of sources but undoubtedly the major contributor in most locations is road transport.

In my days as a physics teacher (please don't stop reading in fear or disgust) I used to teach that trapped air created good heat insulation. And so it does. Insulation in cavity walls and in the loft makes our homes much more efficient at keeping in heat. Less energy is wasted, saving us money on heating bills. And we help to save the planet by burning less fossil fuel.
Join us this weekend as Ed Davey delivers a major speech to members, supporters, MPs, and the media.
Much of the Britain's population fears not having enough money to pay skyrocketing bills - mortgages or rent, food and basic necessities. Yet the former+1 PM, Boris Johnson, apparently has an endless supply of willing donors to keep him and his ever expanding family in the life style to which he wants to be accustomed. He has just been handed another £10,000 worth of accommodation for the month of October, even though he part owns three properties in London! He already earns remarkable amounts of money for the occasional talk, to glorify them with the title 'lecture' implies intellectual rigour and argument. His will be the usual flippant, self congratulatory nonsense that he espoused when PM.
