Hertfordshire Lib Dems Welcome the Recent Flood Recovery Grant
31 Mar 2014
Hertfordshire has been allocated £3.6M from the government flood recovery fund.
Leader of the Opposition, County Councillor Stephen Giles-Medhurst, commented "£3.6 million pounds is a step in the right direction. Now the county must prioritise and spend this wisely as there is a huge amount of work to be done.
"Of course, if the local Conservatives had listened to the Liberal Democrats and implemented our budget proposal we would have been spending another £9M, which would have made a real difference to our highways. There is still a shortfall of funding for the work that needs to be done, and County need to address this urgently".
