The Deputy Prime Minister is calling on the public to help him in his quest to rebalance the relationship between the state and individuals.

Nick Clegg has launched a ‘Your Freedom’ website which invites members of the public to nominate laws and regulations they would like abolished and he promised that the best suggestions would be taken into account when the Freedom Bill in published in the autumn. The coalition government is already committed to scrapping Labour’s ID cards scheme as well as looking into the use of CCTV cameras and the rules restricting adults’ contact with children.

The website already has almost 350 suggestions including a call for a review of the speeding laws and calls for an end to the smoking ban. Mr Clegg has said that thousands of criminal offences were created under the previous Labour government but that they had failed to make the streets safer. He added that unnecessary laws and cumbersome regulations also had a damaging effect on business.

Used Winston solicitors for years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Samantha and the team have been excellent and I'm extremely impressed with the service I've been provided. Would 100% recommend them for property purchases and sales.

Winston Solicitors was recommended to me by a friend, and I now know why. Samira supported me during a difficult time and made everything feel manageable. She’s extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and great to work with. I felt supported throughout the process. I’d happily return if I needed help again and will be recommending Winston Solicitors to others. A fantastic team!

Winston Solicitors provided an excellent service throughout our house purchase. Their tracking system kept us updated at every stage, and communication via email and phone was always clear and prompt. They were also very accommodating in providing printed copies when we needed them. Overall, we were very happy with their support and would gladly use them again in the future.
