On Thursday May 4th 2023 Liberal Democrat candidtes were elected across the district and have formed a majority administration on Teignbridge District Council.
We are busy putting plans in place to implement our manifesto for Teignbridge - you can download our Manifesto here building a modern community powered council
In the last four years Liberal Democrats have made a big difference at Teignbridge including; decarbonising council buildings and our leisure centres - saving significantly on energy bills, building new council houses - well insulated and cheap to heat, improving our parks and open spaces, planting trees and wilflower beds, and a new draft local plan that both protects Teignbridge from speculative developers and introduces new climate change measures that developers will have to follow.
But there is much more to do.
Thank you for support the Lib Dems on May 4th. Now we can continue improving the council, tackling climate change and build more new modern warm and affordable council homes.
Liberal Democrats see the best in things. We celebrate diversity - and nonconformity 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.

Cleaner Teignbridge We have responded to calls for better controls on dog behaviour with a Public Space Protection Order for Responsible Dog Ownership. Dog fouling continues to be a top complaint. We agree and want to do what we can to make Teignbridge even cleaner. Dog owners are required by the Order to carry sufficient poo bags, clear up after their dog, keep a dog on a lead in certain areas eg. a children's play park, and also keep your dog on a one metre lead on a public highway which includes pavements and shared cycle paths. Signage will be improved to inform dog owners. People that ignore the new Order can be fined on the spot. You can report a breach of the Order by emailing envc@teignbridge.gov.uk
Residents Suveys say traffic speeds are too high
I wanted to describe in more detail some of the exciting improvements that will be coming to our town centre as a result of the Council's successful application to the government Future High Street Fund. It is not often as a Council that we get the chance to approve the spending of £9.2 million government funding to invest in the future prosperity of our town.

Today is an important opportunity to remember those who have lost their lives to transphobia, and reflect on how we as a society can end this loss of life.
As Liberal Democrats, we have always stood in support of a lasting peace and a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine.
