Welcome to the website of Northampton Liberal Democrats.

From 2007-2011 the Liberal Democrats ran Northampton Borough Council, turning the organisation around from the "World's Worst Council" to one of the most improved in the country.

We are also the official opposition on Northamptonshire County Council.

  • "Tories refuse to switch speed cameras back on" Cllr Brendan Glynane
    Article: May 17, 2012

    A motion from the Liberal Democrat Official Opposition calling for Northamptonshire County Council to work with the police and switch speed cameras back on, after a rise in deaths on the roads, has been voted down by the Conservatives.

    Leader of the Liberal Democrats at County Hall, Cllr Brendan Glynane, said "I am appalled at the cavalier attitude of Northamptonshire Conservatives when it comes to the impact of the removal of speed cameras and the switch off of streetlights on deaths on our roads. The Conservative Leader of the Council was openly laughing during the debate. That is disgraceful."

  • "Conservatives have let down young unemployed people in Northamptonshire" Cllr Chris Lofts
    Article: May 17, 2012

    Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesman Councillor Chris Lofts has condemned the Conservatives after they voted down a Lib Dem call to help young people with transport costs to get to job interviews and training.

    Cllr Lofts said "I'm really disappointed by the actions of Northamptonshire Conservatives today. They had a chance to stand up for local young people and help them get into work and training opportunities. Instead they turned their backs on Northamptonshire's young people and let them down."

  • Northamptonshire Liberal Democrats lead the way by announcing reduced Shadow Cabinet
    Article: May 15, 2012

    The Leader of the Official Liberal Democrat Opposition at County Hall, Cllr Brendan Glynane, has today announced that the Liberal Democrat Shadow Cabinet will be reduced to Leader and 6 Shadow Cabinet members and called for the Conservatives at County Hall to follow suit.

    Cllr Glynane said "We have consistently argued that the Conservative Cabinet at County Hall is too big and public money is being wasted on allowances for Cabinet members who are unnecessary. In previous years we have appointed a smaller Shadow Cabinet than the Conservative Cabinet, but this year we are showing the way by further reducing our Shadow Cabinet to 6 members plus the Leader."

  • "NEP investigation must be independent and robust - not a Conservative whitewash" Cllr Brendan Glynane
    Article: May 10, 2012

    The Leader of the Official Liberal Democrat Opposition at County Hall, Cllr Brendan Glynane, is calling for the Conservative administration to ensure the investigation in Northamptonshire Economic Partnership (NEP) is not just a whitewash.

    Cllr Brendan Glynane said "NEP is receiving £2m of taxpayers money yet does not meet in public, or publish spending over £500, as the Government's "Transparency Agenda" demands. There have been some serious concerns raised about NEP's performance and accountability. We know that economic regeneration and creating jobs are crucial in the current situation nationally. We also know that it is equally important that, with such a limited amount of public money available, every penny of Northamptonshire taxpayers cash is spent wisely and efficiently."
