What has Europe has done for North Somerset?

  • Thousands of people helped back into work

  • Investment in transport links into Bristol
  • Supporting Weston College to train young people
  • Projects to develop bioethanol technology
  • £50 million pumped into the local economy

From Sunday's "Observer":

"So the status of flagship pro-European party falls to the Liberal Democrats...

"That is currently a lonely position, but the Lib Dems have a decent record of taking minority stands that are later vindicated. On the environment, on civil liberties and on the mounting debt bubble, the Lib Dems were quietly but consistently ahead of the Westminster curve...

"This Thursday's vote is being held in a uniquely febrile climate. It should be about Europe; it will be about the expenses scandal. On both counts, it is a moment to reward the principled consistency of the Liberal Democrats."

"Beat the Blues and go for Lib Dem Gold" say Lib Dems MEP Graham Watson and North Somerset's Brian Mathew

M.E.P. Graham Watson on one of his regular visits to North Somerset called in on Portishead to meet with Parliamentary Candidate Dr. Brian Mathew and ex Chair of Portishead Town Council Cllr Sue Mason.
They discussed the issues that are currently facing the town including the struggle to keep the open air pool open, re-opening the Portishead to Bristol railway line, the Lifeboat,
and the Skate Park. The three also discussed the economic development that Europe has brought to the area including the £423,000 which the EU has given to support the NEETS programme in North Somerset, which aims to help young people who are not in education, employment or training.
