Do you believe in local democracy for the delivery of local public services?
Yes. For example, we oppose the re-organisation of police forces into a centralised national police service and we support the election of local police chiefs. We need separate police forces to investigate problems in other ones. This is justified by the recent problems in the Metropolitican Police.
We believe in small government, cutting out bureaucracy and quangos, with a proper balance between central and local government.
Local knowledge contributes to local efficiencies which should be encouraged by retention of savings locally. Central government should facilitate local government and maintain standards.
