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.

Time for warm action, not just warm words?

In my days as a physics teacher (please don't stop reading in fear or disgust) I used to teach that trapped air created good heat insulation. And so it does. Insulation in cavity walls and in the loft makes our homes much more efficient at keeping in heat. Less energy is wasted, saving us money on heating bills. And we help to save the planet by burning less fossil fuel.

When is ‘sponging’ acceptable?

Much of the Britain's population fears not having enough money to pay skyrocketing bills - mortgages or rent, food and basic necessities. Yet the former+1 PM, Boris Johnson, apparently has an endless supply of willing donors to keep him and his ever expanding family in the life style to which he wants to be accustomed. He has just been handed another £10,000 worth of accommodation for the month of October, even though he part owns three properties in London! He already earns remarkable amounts of money for the occasional talk, to glorify them with the title 'lecture' implies intellectual rigour and argument. His will be the usual flippant, self congratulatory nonsense that he espoused when PM.

Protecting children from sexual abuse

No child should ever have to experience sexual abuse. These are horrifying crimes that cause so much harm to the children who are victims. We will keep up the pressure so that the action needed to make our communities safe all children finally happens.
