Flitwick Liberal Democrats

Daisy Cooper MP has written to Thameslink to urge them to "join TFL in requiring passengers to wear a face covering as a condition of carriage, to protect themselves and those around them, and to keep our country moving."

Great to have an MP who will work with and challenge Thameslink to ensure all those using the line are effectively represented!

I asked Thameslink last week if they were going to join TFL and make face coverings a condition of carriage. They said no. So I wrote formally on Monday to ask them to reconsider. Here’s the letter 👇

Today is election day across Bedfordshire! It's your chance to make your voice heard on policing and crime. Residents of Flitwick East will also have the opportunity to vote for a town councillor to represent them on local issues.

🗳 Polls are open 07:00 - 22:00. If you're not sure where to go to vote you can look it up here: https://wheredoivote.co.uk/ If you have a postal vote and have not returned it yet, you can take it to your polling station or drop in to the Council.

😷 There will be Coronavirus measures in place at polling stations, to help you stay safe. These will include social distancing and when you go inside, you will be expected to wear a face covering (unless exempt). Hand sanitising stations will also be in place and voters are being asked to please bring their own pens if possible.

As well as seeking to drive a positive future for Flitwick, we're keen to build a team across Central Bedfordshire who can work together and support local communities.
