Max Wilkinson reacts to the news that the Cheltenham Spa railway station scheme has been scaled-back for a second time, that the scheme is delayed and that the DfT railway franchise consultation will not come to the town.

Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Cheltenham Max Wilkinson says questions must be answered after it emerged that two Gloucestershire NHS bosses paid to attend a Conservative party fundraising event.

In a letter to Max, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust chief exec Deborah Lee and chair Peter Lachecki confirmed that they paid £50-a-head to attend a Tory party dinner with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt in November.

Police in Gloucestershire are facing a real-terms cut of £1.05m next year, the Liberal Democrats have revealed.

Cheltenham Liberal Democrat members have tonight selected Max Wilkinson as their candidate to take on Alex Chalk and the Conservatives at the next General Election.

I am leading local Liberal Democrat efforts to help young people with housing in Cheltenham. 

My council motion targeting help at younger people who are struggling to buy and rent in the town was passed unanimously by the borough council.

I have helped launch a new campaign to clean up Cheltenham's air.

Iain Dobie and I are behind the initiative which aims to improve public health in the town.

We are asking people to get involved by learning more about the issue and helping to shape the debate.
