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.

More evidence of particulate pollution in Ashbourne
This is what you are breathing in! The doorway to the (now empty) Dorothy Perkins store in Ashbourne is set back from the road (the A515 northbound) in a covered 'porch'. Nothing can fall onto the window frames on the doors except what is brought in on the air. So the thick black deposits on these window frames must be fine particles that were in the air, diffusing in from the highway.

Supporting People to Age Well
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.
