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.
Most (but not all) of the suggestions made in the Derbyshire Dales Lib Dems submission to the Local Governement Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) have been accepted.
'Going Green' was never going to be the cheap option short term, but the decision of the UK government to opt out of the EU emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) is costing industry more than their EU competitors.
An extraordinary meeting of the DDDC Community and Environment committee will not be taking place on 5th January 2022 as planned
Leader's Speech to Spring Conference 2025
The Liberal Democrat plan commits to making the UK a global leader in animal welfare through stronger standards, workforce investment, and ethical farming practices.
Only the Liberal Democrats will stand up to Trump, invest in the UK’s security, support Ukraine, hold back Russia, deepen our ties with European and commonwealth partners, and stand up for liberal, British values.
