We aim to become the largest party on Derbyshire Dales District Council & Derbyshire County Council but to do that we need people to stand as Lib Dem candidates at every election. Are you willing to help us achieve our goal and make Derbyshire and Derbyshire Dales fairer, greener and more Liberal? If you will consider standing as a candidate, please get in touch with Roger Shelley, our local party chair and DDDC Councillor. He is happy to have an informal chat with no obligation and can explain what is involved and the extensive support & training that we can provide. Contact Roger by phone or text on 07887 380334.
Our local party covers the Westminster Constituency of Derbyshire Dales and Derbyshire Dales District Council.
We are the largest party on DDDC and we lead Derbyshire Dales District Council governing in a 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.

On February 2nd we are reminded by the mental health charity MIND and others that taking time out of our busy, distracted lives to contact friends, colleagues and family, is sometimes a life saver. It sounds such an obvious idea - "phone a friend", but so many times other things get in the way and we can regret not doing it. 'Talking' is also more importantly about listening, not filling gaps in chat with your words, but waiting. Sometimes only a pause can help to put a voice to concerns and needs. Listening but with no answers is not failure, it is an avenue to an answer, which you may not provide but they find. Every day should be a 'Time To Talk, but February 2nd is there to nudge us into action at least then.
