Tim Bick and the Liberal Democrat team have a record of action that is second to none in the city centre.

A vote for Tim Bick on Thursday will make sure that the city centre is served by a hard working local team. Tim has been a strong champion for this area since he was first elected four years ago. He has stood up for this area time and time again on matters ranging from local Post Office improvements to championing trees and open spaces.

Labour have let this area down over the years. They have repeatedly tried to cut back street cleaning in the city centre.

The Conservatives have no councillors in Cambridge, they cannot win here, the only way to stop Labour taking the council is to vote for Tim and the Lib Dem team.

If you would like help getting to the polling station on Thursday, please get in touch with Tim on 07720 413 173 to arrange a lift.

3 good reasons to vote for Tim Bick Tim has a local record that other parties cannot match. Tim has stood up for the city centre time and time again: from residents parking to local bus services; from trees to Post Office improvements, Tim has fought for a better deal for this area Tim and the Liberal Democrats have won £90 million from the County to improve roads and pavements.

3 things to remember about Labour: Labour have repeatedly tried to cutback street cleaning in the city centre. It was the Liberal Democrats who built this service up to its current levels. Labour wants to raid Council repair budgets to make its sums add up. Labour refused to support the Liberal Democrats’ extra investment in much needed pavement maintenance.
