Uttlesford Lib Dems Announce Local Election Candidates
This May 6th, Liberal Democrats will be standing candidates in Essex County Council elections as well as in two by-elections for Uttlesford District Council.
Introducing your Essex County Council Candidates
Our local communities need a strong local voice at Essex County Council. Having neglected town and rural services for years, the Conservatives are now intent on cutting a further £46 million from the budget.Our stretched local public services, like the libraries, mental health and youth services are going to be under threat again. Liberal Democrats are the main opposition to Conservatives at Essex County Council. We are best placed to work Essex-wide to make real progress:
- Getting action on road safety and maintenance;
- Demanding more local action to protect our environment and to fight climate change; and
- Protecting our local public services from further Conservative Cuts
We are running candidates in each of the four county divisions that make up Uttlesford:
