Earlier this year (2007) we consulted you about what the Lib Dem led Milton Keynes Council's pledges should be. We wanted to know which are most important to you. Thank you to everyone who replied.

You supported our pledges overall and they are listed below in YOUR order of priority. The Lib Dem Council will:

1. Keep council tax rises to no more than inflation

2. Help older people to live independently in their community

3 Clean up any "grot" spots

4 Increase the number of community safety wardens

5 Provide more activities for young people

6 Promote energy efficiency across Milton Keynes

We are delivering on our pledges.

Council tax is Milton Keynes is well below the national average and the Lib Dem Council kept the rate of increase to the rate of inflation.

We have taken on two more community safety wardens and invested an additional £200,000 in cleaning up the grot spots.

We will continue to deliver our pledges in the months ahead.
