Working hard for you

Newton Abbot MP Martin Wrigley

Lib Dems win the largest amount of seats on Devon County Council

What a result! Thank you so much to everyone who put their trust in our Lib Dem candidates.

Devon's Lib Dem candidates have worked so hard during this campaign, and that hard work has paid off by giving the party the largest number of councillors at Devon County. Those dedicated councillors  can now begin the process of addressing the huge backlog of problems left by the previous Conservative administration, and get the County Council working for the good of the people in Devon.  Too much money and time has been wasted over the past 26 years, the Council now needs to focus on the issues that matter most such as SEND provision, roads and social care, amongst others.  It is well known that budgets are tight, but the Lib Dems have an excellent track record of finding creative solutions to problems and getting the best value for money for the people they serve.  

 

Liberal Democrats see the best in things. We celebrate diversity - and non-conformity and if something isn't working we try to fix it or we fight for reform.  We are committed to representing local people and making sure your voices are heard.

"Changing Britain's Future: no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity"
