Cheltenham MP Martin Horwood visited Cheltenham Animal Shelter for the launch of their new campaign - Staffies. They’re Softer Than You Think.  The campaign, which is in partnership with Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London, aims to raise awareness of the plight of the Staffie, challenge negative perceptions about the breed and show the true soft character of these loveable dogs, that were once known as ‘Nanny dogs’ for their affinity with children. 

Cheltenham borough councillors on the planning committee united on 31 July to throw out an application for 650 new houses and a commercial development on the treasured green land at Leckhampton between the Shurdington Road and Church Lane.

Cheltenham Liberal Democrats are celebrating a terrific set of borough council election results.
The party won 14 of the 20 seats on offer, including two victories in areas considered safe Conservative territory.

Over a three thousand people have signed Martin Horwood’s petition urging the local NHS to rethink their decision to close Cheltenham’s Accident and Emergency Department to ambulance admissions at night.
