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.

Liberal Democrat Cllr Steve Wain, as one of his last events as Matlock's mayor, re-opened the club following its renovation funded by a variety of sponsors including the Levelling Up Fund and Sport England. The building has been opened up to the outside with new floor to ceiling windows / doors and outdoor seating on three sides. A commercial kitchen and cafe have been added. A community larder (the Farmer's Larder) has opened in a downstairs room. Internal spaces have also been renovated. The building will be the centre for social and sports activities in Hurst Farm and the surrounding area.
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
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.
