A Progressive Alliance for Derbyshire Dales District
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 Zahawi saga raises the question of the 'Super Rich' and their attitude to tax.
Whilst we welcome the overdue sacking of Nadhim Zahawi it raises the wider question of why the 'Super Rich' seek to avoid paying tax. It would seem that paying zero tax is a badge of honour and they portray tax as theft of their hard earned wealth.

Are we sailing?
When even a stalwart Conservative voter like Rod Stewart decides to slip anchor and says the country is better off without the Tories then there really is something seriously amiss with them and their policies. Unfortunately for the likes of Sir Rod, it would appear that his beloved party and more specifically Jeremy Hunt - the man with his hands on our purse strings - just doesn't 'get it". Hunt's comment that people are "not remotely interested in personal tax affairs" is so far off the mark that it defies belief in his political intelligence.
