We are Skipton & Ripon Liberal Democrats, representing the Liberal Democrats in the District of Craven, and wards across the Borough of Harrogate!

TRIUMPH AT THE POLLS

Last Thursday Liberal Democrat candidates won 12 seats on the North Yorkshire County Council, including Ripon Ure Bank and Spa and Pateley Bridge and Nidderdale wards, and 8 wards in the Harrogate area. In 12 months this will become the new unitary North Yorkshire Authority. Prior to these elections there were only 3 Lib Dem members on the whole council. Now the Tories only have a slim overall majority of 4.

We contested seats right across the constituency from Bentham and Ingleton on the west to Wathvale and Bishop Monkton in the east.

VOTER APATHY

Still only 35-45% of eligible voters use their vote in local elections. The British Psychological Society has published an article discussing why this might be and how voter apathy might be overcome. You can download the article here.

Election campaigns cost money, and although we rely on volunteers, donating to the cause helps us reach more people.
