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
The Liberal Democrats are standing up for billpayers, protecting our waterways, and demanding a water system that serves the public interest.
The Liberal Democrats are ready to establish the UK as a world leader in responsible, democratic AI - backing home-grown talent, protecting national security, and ensuring technology works for everyone.
The Liberal Democrats will continue to champion open, fair trade, defend British economic interests, and build reliable alliances across Europe and the Commonwealth - in light of yet another act of bullying from an unreliable US President.
