The Liberal Party wishes to be seen as the party for small business and is proud to be launching its Small Business Big Communities Policy Initiative.
Small and micro business, not for profit organisations and charities should be at the heart of our communities to create economic activity, prosperity and employment.
We would welcome feedback from small business owners, people in the charity sector and others within this sector to enhance our policy initiative.
This includes a 4-point plan to support them to reach their full potential within our communities.

Liberal Party leader Cllr Steve Radford recently visited both Old Swan and Breck Road Post Offices in Liverpool with his colleague Alan Tormey.
There was a nonstop flow of customers, and as so many bank branches are closing it is vital to save these facilities. The party also sees an opportunity to utilise local churches to deliver banking services as is done at All Hallows Centre in Allerton.
Please sign the 38 Degrees online petition https://act.38degrees.org.uk/act/keep-post-offices-open calling for the withdrawal of plans to close 115 Post Offices.
Allan Tormey’s letter to concerned parties addressing the potential closures of Crown Post Offices in Liverpool, particularly Old Swan and Breck Road, can be read here.
