Liberal Democrat candidates in the County Council Election in Derbyshire Dales

The Liberal Democrats are offering genuine local government that listens to residents, hears what they have to say and fights for local services that reflects your needs and those of your family.

By voting Liberal Democrat you get activist local councillors who keep in touch, who report back to you and who are working hard with their local community.

1.        Road repairs need to be fixed first time - and no more botched patching where the potholes just re-occur.
2.        Investing in Social Care so there is a real support network there when we all have an urgent need and turn to the County Council for help.
3.        Tackling the terrible situation in SEND provision for those children most in need and supporting their parents.
4.        Making sure the County’s finances actually balance and avoid bankruptcy.
5.        Investing in good reliable bus services that don’t leave you waiting for a bus that never arrives or is always late.
6.        Making the green environment at the core of all we do – tackling climate change, planting trees, doing everything we can to make the local community and all of Derbyshire sustainable and greener for the future.

Six steps that we will fix immediately. Making Derbyshire County Council something you can be proud of again - a place to live, work and play - for you and your family.

It’s time for the Tories to go - they have ruined Derbyshire’s finances…

• The roads and potholes are in a terrible state and failing residents
• Finances at the County are in free-fall crisis with bankruptcy a feature of virtually every discussion
• The SEND report about children in need was damning about the Council
• They have sold off assets and are closing front-line services to try and pay the bills - it’s a terrible situation and has to end.
• The Council cannot afford another year with Care Homes closures, Day Centres shut and road laying unrepaired – it really is time to throw the Tories out.

Everyone agrees - this is not the positive hopeful Labour Government people wanted.

Labour really are a total disappointment. Keir Starmer is letting people down again and again

• WASPI women betrayed are all the pre-election promises and photo opps
• Winter Fuel Allowance cut from thousands of pensioners who needed it
• Deep & damaging Welfare Cuts to some of the most vulnerable in society
• Scrapping the local Councils and creating a huge distant mega-Council
• On virtually every vote on the Council’s finances over the last four years the Labour Group have abstained – effectively supporting the Tories at every stage.

This election is your chance to send Labour a clear message they cannot ignore.  Support the Liberal Democrats in Derbyshire on Thursday May 1st.
