Support a Fair Deal for Duryard & St James with the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

What is the CIL?

The CIL is a financial contribution from new developments that goes towards mitigating their impact upon communities.

• 72% of this payment is placed in a central pot and has been used by the City Council to assist with major projects, such as St Sidwell's Point
• 8% is used for mitigating the recreational issues arising from new developments on European protected habitats, such as the Exe Estuary, Pebblebed Heaths, and Dawlish Warren
• 5% is used for administration of the fund
• and 15% will go to the Community Pot

Owen Patterson has resigned in a cloud of Tory sleaze. He's handed us a golden opportunity to send a message to this Conservative government - but we need to grab it now.

The Lib Dems are in the best possible position to compete with the Tories. We are the clear alternative to the Tory vote.

This by-election is a chance to embarrass the Tories in what was one of their safest seats.

The 2019 General Election Review (the Thornhill Review) set out how we must change in order to succeed at future elections. Since its publication, in many areas we have made strides, but there is still much to do.

The Party is currently consulting with members on our governance. Yet more Tory sleaze this week highlights how important for the country it is that we, once again, become a competitive liberal voice in the UK.
