London Zero Caouncil Tax Council Leaders

Lib Dem shadow Chancellor Vince Cable MP (2nd right) joined Lib Dem Council Leaders Cllr Steve Hitchins (Leader of Islington, left), Cllr Peter Truesdale (Leader of Lambeth, 2nd left) and Cllr Nick Stanton (Leader of Southwark) at City Hall to congratulate them on their Council Tax freezes for 2006/7. This compares to the massive increase in what Londoners have to pay Ken Livingstone.

Vince Cable said: "The Liberal Democrats have turned all three of these failing Labour councils around. From being amongst the worst councils under Labour, the Lib Dems, through sound financial management, have turned Islington, Lambeth and Southwark into shining examples of how boroughs should be run."
