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 are taking a stand to hold tech companies accountable, equip the police with the right powers, and build a digital world where women and girls can live safely and without fear.
Supporting people to age well and maintain their independence is better for them and common-sense for the NHS. The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to fix social care, protect our NHS, and ensure everyone can age well in their own home and community.
Liberal Democrat members have renewed our commitment to fix the front door of the NHS, restore patient choice, end dental deserts, and ensure preventative care is accessible before health problems turn into emergencies.
