As Group Leader, I am proud to lead a strong and determined Liberal Democrat team working for cleaner, greener and safer communities across Kirklees from our towns and villages to our neighbourhoods and rural communities.
Our politics are rooted in the Liberal values of liberty, equality and community. We believe every resident deserves to be heard and represented, whatever their background, heritage or circumstances. We stand for an open and fair society where people have the freedom and opportunity to thrive, and where communities have a real say in the decisions that affect them.
With Reform now running Kirklees Council, your Liberal Democrat councillors are providing a strong, constructive and determined opposition. We will scrutinise their decisions, challenge poor choices and hold them to account for how they spend your money. We will demand transparency, sound financial management and practical action on the issues that matter to local people – not political slogans or empty rhetoric.
Kirklees deserves councillors who listen, speak up and get things done. We will continue to stand up for our communities, protect our environment and fight for a fairer, more prosperous and more sustainable future for everyone.
Join us in building a better Kirklees.
Cllr Anthony Smith, Group Leader, Kirklees Liberal Democrats
This week is a moment to hear and respond to what transgender and non-binary people are telling us, to honour all they bring to our communities, and to face up to the obstacles still standing in their way.

The UK’s press regulator has never fined a newspaper. The Liberal Democrats say that has to change.
