Liberal Democrats in South Gloucestershire are promising a “fundamentally different type” of council if they take power in the upcoming local election. Voters will head to the polls on Thursday, May 4, to choose who should run the Council.
The Liberal Democrats are currently the second-largest party and could take control after the election if the Conservatives lose their narrow majority of five seats. The party has been led in the district for five years by Councillor Claire Young.
In an interview ahead of the election, Cllr Young promised voters more action on climate change and the cost of living crisis, as well as consulting with residents and businesses much more about major changes to the district. She also criticised “out-of-touch” Tories and recent bickering with the region’s other political leaders.
