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.
The Sunak administration is congratulating itself on supposedly pulling off a major coup in negotiations with the EU over Northern Ireland. This is rank hypocrisy.
Robert Court, Liberal Democrat General Election Candidate for Derbyshire Dales is demanding that the Government cancel plans to hike the average household energy bill by £500 in April, and bring in a tax on the "bonanza bonuses" of oil and gas bosses.
It is not often that political parties are required to set the record straight on things that happened over 25 years ago! However Ashbourne Conservatives continue to comment on the Liberal Democrats action in late 1997 without providing a suitable context (and, coincidentally, remind us of the year when the Conservatives lost more than half their seats at the General Election).
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
The right to a trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our democracy for over 800 years. Liberal Democrat members have passed a new plan to tackle court backlogs without scrapping juries.
Learning to drive is a vital life skill. Liberal Democrat members passed a new plan to clear the backlogs, end the rip-offs, and get the next generation moving.
