Dundee Liberal Democrats have welcomed the news that five political parties have signed up to a joint agreement on the need to tackle climate change together. The Liberal Democrats, the Tories, Scottish Nationalists, Plaid Cymru and the DUP have put aside party differences to develop policies on "the most serious threat we face". The Labour Party was invited to join in this campaign, but has so far declined to do so.
Led by Raymond Lawrie, Dundee Liberal Democrat local party convener, Dundee LibDems, including Dundee City Council Group Leader Cllr Fraser Macpherson and local LibDem student representative Iqbal Mohammad, spent today (Saturday 28th January 2006) campaigning in Dunfermline & West Fife for Willie Rennie, Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for the by-election taking place on 9th February.

Vodafone have applied for planning permission for a telecoms mast resembling a flagpole, on top of the tower at St Martin's Church, Epsom. This is believed to be an alternative to the controversial plan for a telecoms mast in Bridle Road, but it is attracting opposition from parents of children who attend the play group in nearby St Martin's Hall. This application is expected to be decided at a meeting of the Planning Committee at 7.30 pm on Thursday 9th February.
A proposal for a map showing exclusion zones in parks had been expected to come to a meeting of the Strategy and Resources Committee of the Council on 31st January, but it is now understood to have been deferred to the following meeting on 4th April. The reason given is that although the map has now been drawn, visits are needed to check out the proposals on site. The main business on 31st January will be preparing for the annual budget, so hopefully there will be more time to consider the issue of telecoms masts in parks on 4th April.
Raymond Lawrie, Dundee Liberal Democrat Local Party Convener, has urged local party members to get involved in the party's leadership election debate.
