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.

An Investment Zone may be coming to somewhere near you!
Derbyshire County Council is intending to submit proposals for Investment Zones in Derbyshire. We do not know where these are yet. We think that residents need to know a bit more about them before any final decision is made. An Investment Zone may have a very big impact on its locality and also on businesses elsewhere.
