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.
Quote from the Spectator: "The US economy, for example, is buoyed because two thirds of the country's population depend on their employer for health insurance; the fiercely competitive US workplace, in which workers accept no paid holiday, no parental leave and long hours, is partly a fight for affordable medication and hospital beds."
The report commissioned by Derbyshire County Council from Aecom to investigate the cost effectiveness of various actions designed to reduce air pollution has some mystifying features.
Councillors who sit on the Community and Environment Committee of Conservative controlled Derbyshire Dales District Council will consider on Thursday 9th February the latest draft of an Action Plan to tackle air pollution in Ashbourne.
Liberal Democrats believe nobody should be able to use vast sums of money to silence legitimate public scrutiny. Our new policy calls for comprehensive, universal anti-SLAPP legislation to uphold media freedom and defend equal access to justice.
For too many entry-level jobseekers, applying for a job has increasingly turned into a robotic, dehumanising hurdle. Liberal Democrats believe that fair hiring practices are essential for equal opportunity.
The Liberal Democrats have always believed that power belongs to the people, not foreign states, tech algorithms, or wealthy elites. Our new policy will defend British democracy, root out dark money, and rebuild public trust from the ground up.
