We all know it will be a disaster forBritain. Bad for jobs, the economyand the NHS. It will cost £39 billion,and in return, we will lose access tothe single market and have to followrules from Brussels without a say.

It’s so unpopular, we are now indanger of heading for no deal at all.

The Liberal Democrats demandbetter for Britain. We want people,not politicians, to have the final sayon Brexit, with the option to stay inthe EU. We think YOU shoulddecide the future of our countryand your family.

Following the Council’s decision in October,we are pleased to confirm that CryerArts hasbeen chosen to run the Charles CryerTheatre.

Maintaining an arts and cultural space inSutton has been a priority for the Lib Dem-run Sutton Council and we have pushed hardsince 2016 for the Charles Cryer to be re-opened as a cultural or community venue.

CryerArts is made up of local residents andbusiness people who care deeply about ourlocal community. A major part of the site willbe a new bar and restaurant.

The Cryer will also be able to host a widerange of events such as live music, talks andcommunity functions.

The main source of pollution in ourborough is car emissions and the LibDems are campaigning for publictransport improvements to reduce caruse.

We are working to Sack Southern andhand the franchise to TfL so they can

run more frequent and reliable services,calling for more investment in buses inpoorly served areas, and are workingwith schools to bring in travel plans sothat children learn to use publictransport from a young age.

A key part of improving public transportis extending the tram to Sutton andfollowing a long term campaign, theconsultation on the tram is now live.

Lib Dem MP Tom Brake welcomed thenews: “After years of campaigning, I'mglad to see that we are a step closer tobringing the Tram to Sutton.” Tom said.
