Liberal Democrats have a proud tradition of serving the people we represent in Stevenage. We believe in grassroots politics, and we are committed to devolving power to local people. We work with our communities all year round to improve life for everyone (no matter how they vote). Liberal Democrats are now the biggest political force in Hertfordshire with more local councillors than any other party.
Following the council elections on 2 May, there are still 6 Liberal Democrat Borough Councillors on Stevenage Borough Council where we retained, with handsome majorities, our seats in Chells and Manor wards.
Local Liberal Democrat, Cllr Graham Snell, was presented with an award in recognition of 25 years service to the Borough of Stevenage by Mayor, Myla Arceno. Cllr Snell was first elected to Stevenage Council in 1998 for the Mobbsbury Ward.
We are pleased to announce that local councillor Lisa Nash has been selected to be the Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate for the Stevenage constituency at the next Westminster general election.
Conservatives at Herts County Council have blocked Liberal Democrat proposals to fix more potholes, improve services for children with special needs and do more to tackle flooding.
Improvements for local transport and special educational needs in Hertfordshire have been delayed by county council incompetence - with £17 million of vital funds going unspent this year.
“Wrecking tactics” have been blamed after “timewasting” speeches forced the cancellation of a key council debate on special educational needs.
