Liberal Democrat Councillors represent 15 out of 35 wards in Bristol. Our Councillors are local champions who fight for their communities, work hard to resolve local issues, and help people with individual difficulties.
The Liberal Democrats are the second largest political group on Bristol City Council, and led the Council between 2009 until 2012 when Bristol elected its first mayor. We’re still working hard to transform the Council: making it more efficient, whilst improving services. As community champions we are helping deliver investment in transport, schools, and parks; driving up recycling rates and reducing carbon emissions.
