'Invest in our children'

INVESTMENT in children's early years is the key to the future, the town's Liberal Democrats claim.

Clr Ian Marks, prospective parliamentary candidate for Warrington South, said: "Expert opinion confirms what common sense tells us. Children well taught and well cared for in their early years have a far better chance of living fulfilled and rewarding lives."

Clr Marks is calling on the Chancellor to spend his Child Trust Fund money by investing in children's early years centres.

Clr Marks continued: "We would use this money to improve early years' support. This means reducing class sizes for our youngest children and setting up Early Years Centres to provide better health, education and family support for every child - when it counts."
