Throughout this long and drawn out saga caused by Mr Parsons' refusal to act with integrity and dignity we have maintained the view that Mr Parsons should resign.

Despite continual pleas to consider the use of earmarked Reserves, a report to the next meeting of the County Council's Cabinet published by the Director of Resources shows that the Conservative Administration has now shamefully siphoned over £110m into the reserves whilst approving cuts to services and savings of £26.9m.
In light of Mr Sprason's admission that he had misled the County Council over his attendance at the Cecil Club dinner with Mr Parsons, we are happy to remove our story 'Scandal - Now Sprason's in the frame' from the Leicestershire Lib Dem website.
The UK is facing a mental health emergency. Liberal Democrats have a proud record of pushing Britain’s mental health services forward. Now we are offering the bold solutions we need to fight the crisis unfolding in our communities.
British universities are a world-leading export and an engine for innovation, but today, the sector is at a breaking point. Liberal Democrats have passed a new plan to deliver a fairer deal for students and graduates and secure the future of the sector.
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
