31-year-old Carl Cashman has been elected as the new leader of Liverpool Council's Liberal Democrat opposition group.
Cllr Cashman, the former leader of the Lib Dems in Knowsley, was elected for the first time in Liverpool at last week's local elections where he will now represent the Church ward in the south of the city.
One of his key tasks will be to try and unite an opposition group that has been divided over 'serious tensions' in recent years.
