Our Lib Dem champions were out in force on Saturday 25th March, joining hundreds of other campaigners from the local area. Crowds gathered peacefully and safely from Hayling Island, around the coastline roads, all the way through to West Wittering.
New analysis by the Liberal Democrats reveals that up to 24 pubs, restaurants and cafes are at risk of closure in Havant following the Chancellor’s Budget last week.

Hayling Island Lib Dem campaigners Paul Gray and Wilf Forrow, mirroring Lib Dem policy all across the country, want to make fundamental changes to the sometimes-crippling costs incurred in the form of business rates.
People all across the island are keen to cycle more, both for the benefit of the environment and their own health. But when asking people what stops them from getting out and about on their bike, one problem frequently comes up: safety on the road.
Energy bills have hit record highs. People are being forced to choose between heating and eating. Businesses face closure. Schools, hospitals, and public services are being pushed into difficult choices.
Meanwhile, oil and gas companies like BP and Shell are making record profits off the back of high bills.
The Conservative’s failure to invest in renewable energy and to insulate our homes has led directly to this energy crisis.
And their cosy relationships with the oil and gas industry sees those companies let off the hook with exemptions and loopholes allowing them to avoid the windfall tax.
Under the government’s plans energy bills will be going up not down. Their budget withdrew the £400 energy grant, which was given to all households last year.
Meanwhile, they’ve cut energy support for businesses by 85%, putting at risk our pubs, restaurants, public services and farms.
Continuing as we are now isn’t an option. We have to act to solve this energy crisis for the long term.
That’s why today Liberal Democrat members have passed new policy:
Liberal Democrat plans would cut energy bills for consumers and businesses, reduce emissions and set Britain on a path to a sustainable future.
Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey is demanding the Chancellor cancels plans to hike the average household energy bill by £500 in April, and cuts people’s bills instead.
