Children in our richest areas are given significantly more opportunity than children in the less well-off areas.

Instead of trying to improve the situation, the Conservatives that control Bath and North East Somerset Council are choosing to cut our Children’s and Youth Services; robbing some children in BaNES of the chance to have the start in life they need and deserve.

Do we really want B&NES to be a place with no opportunities for our young people? These services need protecting and the Liberal Democrats believe that Council Tax should go up by less than £1 a month to stop the inequality gap widening.

Please sign our petition, I agree with Bath and North East Somerset Liberal Democrats that £1 a month is a price worth paying for our children’s future.
