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.
Some things are worth waiting for. However the long overdue report from Derbyshire County Council on actions that they approve to tackle air pollution in Ashbourne is not one of them.
Lib Dem Coucillors in Matlock have been distributing leaflets publicising the 'Derbyshire Floods Hardship Fund' that Derbyshire County Council has reinstated, to make £20,000 available to help residents and businesses affected by recent flooding.
The Mayor of Matlock, Lib Dem Councillor Steve Wain has hit out at the combined failure of central government, the Environment Agency and the County Council that has resulted in flooding in parts of Matlock for the fourth time in 30 months.
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.
