Cllr Paul Ray, who leads the Lib Dem team in Lichfield District council, comments, “This is an important time for Lichfield, and indeed for all Staffordshire, as we approach the reorganisation of our local government. Our list of candidates includes some with experience of local government practices, as well as some who can take a fresh look at the way that the county is run, and promote new ways for the future.
“There is a sense of dissatisfaction with the two major parties, and a wish for an alternative. We believe that the Lib Dems provide that alternative – together with the experience and the knowledge that comes with having represented residents as councillors.”
“We know that our Lib Dem councillors enjoy a good reputation for working hard for the people of Lichfield, Burntwood and the villages, and if elected, our candidates will continue that tradition at a County level.”
The Lib Dems’ election agent, Hugh Ashton, says, “Our candidates are dedicated to improving the lives of residents, and our councillors in both the City and District councils have demonstrated this by working closely with other parties to achieve positive results for the benefit of our residents.
“We will continue to work constructively with other groups as we approach the biggest change to local government in fifty years, providing constructive and practical suggestions, based on our experience as councillors to enable this move from the current arrangements a smoothly as possible, while continuing to deliver a first class range of services to our residents.
“Many questions still go unanswered, but whatever the final answers, your Lib Dem representatives in local government will continue to work hard for you – all year round, not just at election time.”
