Orkney's MSP Liam McArthur has today announced his intention to stand for the role of Presiding Officer (PO) in the seventh session of the Scottish Parliament.
Thank you to the electors of Wokingham Borough for turning out in large numbers to vote in last week’s local elections. Turnout everywhere was up, which is an encouraging sign that local democracy is in robust health.
So here we are. After 4 years of running the council, voters have put their faith in the Liberal Democrats once again, and given us a fifth year, with an increased majority.
Brentwood Council Liberal Democrat leader, Councillor Barry Aspinell, explains to residents why he supports the Care Leavers Pledge.
Liberal Democrats dominated the results in last week’s local elections in Hertfordshire.
The Liberal Democrats gained 13 seats to end up with 23 seats out of 70. They are now the joint largest group on West Sussex County Council (with Reform) which has been controlled by the Conservatives since 1997.
