Stephen Robinson - working for Chelmsford and for you

Stephen Robinson

Stephen on Facebook linkStephen was Liberal Democrat candidate for Chelmsford and came close to being elected as the MP. See below for news stories from Stephen.

In Chelmsford, elections are always a clear choice between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives. No-one else can win in Chelmsford.

Locally, the Lib Dems are a strong opposition on Chelmsford Borough Council and hold four of the five Essex County Council seats in the Chelmsford town area. Lib Dems use this position to continue to challenge the Conservatives' damaging policies on the environment (such as housing and new road building).

    "Only" 3,600 houses for Greater Beaulieu Park Chelmsford
    Article: Feb 16, 2012

    A planning application for houses north and north-east of Springfield ("Greater Beaulieu Park") has been revised slightly. Two years ago ZEST Countryside Properties asked for "up to 4,000 houses" but now they have reduced this to "up to 3,600 houses".

    Commented Cllr. Stephen Robinson (who created the Don't Choke Chelmsford campaign): "The other application for well over 600 houses near Channels Golf Course means that developers are, in total, asking for vastly more than the 3,200 houses indicated in the North Chelmsford Area Action Plan, the council's strategic plan for the area.

    Chelmsford Lib Dem welcomes protection for local Post Offices
    Article: Jan 24, 2012

    The future of post offices across the country has been secured by Government action, funding and a new agreement between Royal Mail and the Post Office. Chelmsford Lib Dem Stephen Robinson, who campaigned alongside Cllr. Tom Smith-Hughes and others to save local Post Offices welcomed the news. He said, "This demonstrates the Lib Dem commitment to ensure a sustainable future for Royal Mail and Post Offices.

    "Post Offices are a vital part of our communities and are visited by over 20 million people every week. Under past Conservative and Labour governments the service suffered, with thousands closing. Liberal Democrats in the Coalition Government have stopped closures and put Royal Mail and the Post Office on a secure footing."
