Newton Abbot Lib Dems

Working hard for you

Newton Abbot MP Martin Wrigley

Lib Dems win the largest amount of seats on Devon County Council

What a result! Thank you so much to everyone who put their trust in our Lib Dem candidates.

Devon's Lib Dem candidates have worked so hard during this campaign, and that hard work has paid off by giving the party the largest number of councillors at Devon County. Those dedicated councillors  can now begin the process of addressing the huge backlog of problems left by the previous Conservative administration, and get the County Council working for the good of the people in Devon.  Too much money and time has been wasted over the past 26 years, the Council now needs to focus on the issues that matter most such as SEND provision, roads and social care, amongst others.  It is well known that budgets are tight, but the Lib Dems have an excellent track record of finding creative solutions to problems and getting the best value for money for the people they serve.  

 

Liberal Democrats see the best in things. We celebrate diversity - and non-conformity and if something isn't working we try to fix it or we fight for reform.  We are committed to representing local people and making sure your voices are heard.

"Changing Britain's Future: no one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity"

2025: Week 15 - Back to Westminster

After a lovely 2 weeks in the constituency whilst Parliament was on its Easter recess (albeit with a brief recall to discuss all things steel), I caught the early train to London with a spring in my step, no doubt helped by the beautiful weather!

2025: Week 14 - Easter Recess

This Easter has been a mixed bag of sunshine and torrential rain, more than just April showers. I hope that if you had any time off over the Easter break that the weather didn’t spoil it for you.

2025: Week 12 - Tariffs, litter and GPs

This week sees the final week of Parliament before the Easter recess, and although I’ll miss the debates and committees in Westminster I’m looking forward to spending a couple of weeks at home and getting out and about in the constituency.
