I’m proud to be able to call St Albans my home for well over 20 years. However, in recent times, thanks to the mismanagement of St Albans City & District Council, this wonderful city has suffered with council tax at an all time high, local services costing more yet delivering less and green spaces coming under constant threat from unwanted developments. This cannot continue, so it’s time to hold the council to account for its failings. This is why I am running to be your councillor - St Albans needs change.
Now, the Lib Dems have renewed their pledge to build 380,000 new houses nationally, and St Albans district council's proposed Local Plan has placed 2,000 acres of green belt at risk of being paved over, despite outcry from local residents. It is clear that the current council leadership is completely out of touch with the concerns of residents. On May 2nd let's send a clear message to the Lib Dems that they can't take residents for granted any more!
