We are the largest party on the District Council and we lead the Progressive Alliance.
Steve Flitter, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats on DDDC said - We are delighted to come together as 3 progressive Parties to offer the residents and businesses of the Derbyshire Dales a new approach to local politics. We know that our District faces many challenges, not least the cost of living crisis, the shortage of affordable housing for our young families and the threat to our environment from new developments and pollution.
Working together we will support our communities in the best and most effective way, and provide them with genuinely value-for-money services.
In his letter to the Times our Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate for Derbyshire Dales, Robert Court, adds his voice to those calling for the UK's first-past-the-post voting system to be replaced with proportional representation.
Whilst dashing about leafleting, one of the most common concerns I heard on the doorstep was about ageing sewerage systems and the environment. The River Derwent is a beloved feature of our area and used recreationally, both on the water and along its banks.
Liberal Democrats have become the largest party on Derbyshire Dales District Council. 6 councillors were elected, 6 out of 6 seats in Matlock (East + Tansley and West), 3 out of 3 in Darley Dale and 3 out of 5 in Ashbourne North & South.
The Liberal Democrats' bold plan to restore UK leadership in science and innovation will drive investment, boost global collaboration, and ensure technology benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.
Reflecting on the year’s International Women’s Day theme of “accelerate action”, I am sadly reminded of how much more we still need to achieve.
The UK needs to strengthen both our Armed Forces and our soft power.
