Mike Simpson stands up for Badshot Lea
Sun 14th Mar 2010
Mike Simpson met with Badshot Lea Councillors recently looking around the village and the neighbouring green spaces in response to Waverley's allocation of new housing. Mike said: "I was shocked to read the Council's Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment which suggests that the village might accommodate another 950 homes. The village clearly could not cope with such growth and the level of developer's contributions would not be adequate to rectify major infrastructure problems in and around the village. In any case much of the land is unsuitable due to its frequent flooding."

"Cyril Smith was a larger-than-life character and one of the most recognisable and likeable politicians of his day. He was a true Liberal, dedicated to his constituency, always showing great passion and determination. Rochdale and Britain have sadly lost one of their great MPs, and I think we can safely say there will never be an MP quite like Cyril Smith again. "
Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
Commenting on the death of Sir Cyril Smith, for 20 years Liberal (then Liberal Democrat) MP for Rochdale, who has passed away - 3 September
"Tackling the deficit is our immediate priority. But is it not our be-all and end-all. This Government is about much more than cuts. This Government is committed to the long term - to making decisions today that will promote a better future: a more prosperous economy, and a fairer society. Our determination to fix the deficit is matched by our determination to create a more socially mobile society. "
Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
Speech on social mobility - 18 August
