Our 12 Derbyshire Dales District Councillors

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.

Photo ID needed for May elections

The local elections for Derbyshire Dales District Council on 4th May will be the first when photo ID will be needed to vote in person. The government claims that this is necessary to combat voter fraud, of which there have been the tiniest number of examples. At the 2019 General Election for example, the Electoral Commission reports that were no cases at all which led to a conviction. Unlike Labour, the Liberal Democrats strenuously opposed this unnecessary measure which is likely to prevent some legitimate electors, particularly younger voters and those from minority groups, from voting. Please note that your polling card and your word will no longer be enough to get your ballot paper.

Careless Talk Costs Lives

The theme for this year's Holocaust Memorial Day is "ordinary people". Hidden in these simple words is a universal truth that 'ordinary people', when fed denigrating, demeaning words and images of 'other' people, can become inhuman in their behaviour towards them. Words have consequences when they distort and dehumanise other races, groups, religions or creeds.
