Welcome to the Newcastle Liberal Democrats website
The Liberal Democrats are proud to have been in control of Newcastle 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.
We hope that you enjoy visiting our website, and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any more information.
You can help the Liberal Democrats fight for Newcastle. A donation will help strengthen our campaigns. Your help WILL make a difference.
