Local Government Reorganisation in Hertfordshire: Response from Ruth Brown, Leader of North Herts Council Liberal Democrat Group
We are the champions for liberal values across North Hertfordshire. Locally, we will use our position on the District and County councils to deliver meaningful and progressive change on behalf of residents. Nationally, we want to build a fairer society, but also keep the economy strong and secure. Internationally we want the UK to remain engaged in Europe, and to lead the response to global challenges like climate change. If you share our values and objectives, please give us your support.
Local Government Reorganisation in Hertfordshire: Response from Ruth Brown, Leader of North Herts Council Liberal Democrat Group
North Herts council submitted no response to a recent government consultation over planning powers in South Cambs, it has been revealed. The matter came to light at a recent full council meeting, following a question by Lib Dem Cllr Matt Barnes.
We are delighted to have won 12 of 13 seats on Royston Town Council and a significant majority of the votes cast. To our volunteers and supporters: thank you for your time and dedication. We are now focused on the job at hand.
The government has announced that there will be four unitary councils for Hertfordshire. Any reorganisation would have been expensive and disruptive but splitting Hertfordshire in four will be the most expensive and most disruptive option.
Liberal Democrats dominated the results in last week’s local elections in Hertfordshire.
Within one year of the Lib Dem team taking control of Hertfordshire County Council, the government has announced that the SEND Improvement Notice has been lifted.
