Liberal Democrat Councillors represent 19 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 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.
Liberal Democrat Stephen Williams was first elected as MP for Bristol West in 2005.

LABOUR and Tories united to deny Bristol’s voters fairer elections in 2016 at tonight’s annual meeting of the city council (Tues, May 21).

BRISTOL must invest in new housing if it’s to meet the need for new jobs and economic recovery, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Kent told tonight’s annual meeting of Bristol City Council (Tues, May 21).

When one observes the fortunes of the Liberal Democrats in Bristol, it is little wonder that so many people are pessimistic about their prospects for 2015. In Bristol city council elections, 2009, the Liberal Democrats made four gains from Labour which gave them overall control of the council. On 6th May 2010, two further gains [...]
MAYOR George Ferguson is today (Tuesday, May 21) being challenged to appear before a crucial meeting of city councillors to answer questions about his beleaguered “residents’ parking” scheme.
