Local News Kingston and Surbiton MP launches ‘Buy Local, Back Britain’ campaign in the wake of Donald Trump’s tariffs

The MP for Kingston and Surbiton has launched a 'Buy Local, Back Britain' campaign to support local businesses in the wake of Donald Trump's tariffs announced yesterday (Wednesday, 2 April).

Ed Davey MP said that people should "rally round" local businesses at risk from the economic shock caused by Donald Trump's disastrous trade war, including local producers and high street shops.

The Liberal Democrats are also calling on the government to come forward with a raft of measures to help businesses stay afloat and protect Kingston and Surbiton's high streets, including scrapping the jobs tax and overhauling business rates.

It was recently estimated that Trump's tariffs could wipe out up to 1% of GDP which would push many British businesses to the wall.

The measures announced by the US President last night will see 10% tariffs on UK exports and 25% tariffs on all automotive exports to the US.

The Liberal Democrats have outlined a number of steps the Government should already be taking to back British businesses in the face of Trump's tariffs and stagnant economic growth.

They included scrapping the growth-crushing jobs tax coming into effect in the coming days and overhauling the broken business rates system to unleash the growth potential of our high-streets and manufacturers.

The Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey said: "People here in Kingston and Surbiton are deeply concerned about the impact that Donald Trump's disastrous trade war could have on our living standards and local businesses.

"That is why I am launching a 'Buy Local, Back Britain' campaign, to encourage people to play their part in supporting our fantastic local businesses and high street shops at this difficult time.

"The Liberal Democrats are also urging the Government to unleash the potential of our local high streets by reforming business rates and dropping their jobs tax which is set to hammer businesses in the coming days."

Local News Planning permission approved to deliver new affordable homes for Kingston residents

Kingston Council has been granted planning permission to create 45 new homes for older people and adults with learning disabilities at Acre Road.

In addition to delivering new affordable homes, the scheme will provide a new pedestrian path through the centre of the area, improve biodiversity on the site, and include significant new tree planting.

The proposals, created by architects Levitt Bernstein, focus on a high-quality, sustainable, and carbon neutral design.

The scheme includes spacious and dual aspect homes, as well as fully adapted wheelchair-accessible homes to ensure they meet the council's aspirations for inclusivity.

Regenerating the vacant former care home site on Acre Road represents a key opportunity for the council to use its assets in the most efficient way.

These new affordable homes will contribute positively to Kingston's housing targets and ensure that development is placed where it is most appropriate, whilst meeting the needs of local people.

Cllr Emily Davey, Portfolio Holder for Housing, said: "It's exciting for us to be able to deliver projects like this - truly affordable homes, at council rent levels, for some of our most vulnerable residents.

"We want to increase opportunities for people to live a happy and healthy life and meeting the growing housing needs and aspirations of our residents is an important part of that.

"At Acre Road we will be creating council homes for people to live as independently as possible, as well as cutting carbon emissions and sustainably building for individuals and the environment, which is a great thing.

Demolition of the existing site is currently underway, and the estimated completion date is in May 2025.

Following committee approval to appoint a construction partner for the scheme earlier this month, procurement for delivering the project will take place shortly with an estimated start on site date in Autumn 2025.

Irene Craik, Director at Levitt Bernstein, said: "We're so pleased to have secured planning consent for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames to support their affordable homes programme.

"The scheme at Acre Road will provide inclusive and accessible homes for local older residents and adults with learning disabilities in a setting that promotes community and support and enables independent living.

"Importantly, the residents choosing to move into the later living homes will also help to free up much needed larger family homes in the borough."
