The Liberal Democrats in Salford have stated that they are the only true opposition to Labour in the upcoming election. Alex Warren, the Lib Dem candidate for Quays has said that they want to provide a true alternative to Labour given the fact the Conservatives have not fielded a candidate in every ward.
Mr Warren believes his party have taken great strides in the Quays area as well as Blackfriars but still thinks there is more the party must do in Salford in the long-term to become a true threat to Labour. Their plan to clean up plastic pollution, put on night trams, and increasing disbaled access across Salford is something that the group hope will see them gain momentum in this election and those in years to come.
Labour has controlled Salford City Council since 1973, something the Lib Dems are now working hard to change.
