The Liberal Democrats declined to give a fresh interview to West Kent Radio ahead of the 2024 Borough Council election, so we look back on how the Liberal Democrat council leader, Ben Chapelard, has recently defended fines for motorists driving past the war memorial in Tunbridge Wells.
The Liberal Democrats declined to give a fresh interview to West Kent Radio ahead of the 2024 Borough Council election, so we look back on how the Liberal Democrat council leader, Ben Chapelard, has recently defended fines for motorists driving past the war memorial in Tunbridge Wells. The fines have now brought in £ 1.5 million for the council, even though there's clear evidence the signs are confusing drivers.
The Liberal Democrats did issue a statement to West Kent Radio in which it said the party's aim was to no longer rely on support from other parties and to run the council alone. It also promised a freeze on car park charges for a year and planting a tree for every resident.
