Liverpool’s Liberal Democrats have vowed to go all out for victory and “rescue our city” in this year’s local elections.
With three weeks to go until polling day, the largest opposition group in the Town Hall has launched its plan on how it would govern Liverpool after May 4. It is the fourth of the five parties to set out its stall, with Labour, the Green Party and the Liverpool Community Independents all staging events of their own.
Rather than settling for second place, the Liberal Democrats have set lofty ambitions for the city-wide poll, with 85 seats up for grabs across 64 newly drawn wards. Cllr Richard Kemp, leader of the Liverpool Liberal Democrats, said the city had lived through 13 “unlucky” years of Labour control and his party has set out six key areas it would seek to address from its first day in the corridors of power at the Cunard Building.
