Welcome to the Newcastle Liberal Democrats web site!
Cllr John Shipley with 2008's six new Lib Dem councillors
|
The Liberal Democrats are proud to have been in control of Newcastle upon Tyne City Council since 2004. In that time, we have cut waste and contained council tax rises, overseen improvements in educational achievement and spent more on the services people say they want, such as community safety, street cleaning, recycling and the environment.
I hope that you enjoy visiting our website, and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any more information.
