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.
It was a significant moment last night in Matlock Town Hall as a Liberal Democrat led 'Progressive Alliance' took charge of Derbyshire Dales District Council. This was the first time that the Council had not been led by Conservatives in 24 years.
This Thursday, 25 May, will see the Liberal Democrats, Labour and the Green Party celebrate an agreement to run Derbyshire Dales District Council for the next 4 years.
In his letter to the Times our Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate for Derbyshire Dales, Robert Court, adds his voice to those calling for the UK's first-past-the-post voting system to be replaced with proportional representation.
