We are grateful to all those who have supported and voted for us in this local election campaign.

Was this the outcome we hoped for? No, but the collective voice of our community has spoken and voted for the candidate they believe best serves them at this time. And we wish Al Garthwaite all the best for her next term in office.

What does this mean for the Liberal Democrats in our community? Brandon and the wider Liberal Democrat team will continue to be an active voice for our local community. We will continue to work hard to make sure Headingley & Hyde Park is the best it can be for everyone in our area and we will continue to fight to ensure that the voice of local residents is listened to by those in power. Local communities work best when local problems are fixed with local solutions made with the support of local residents.

Most importantly – we will keep fighting for a cleaner , greener , and safer Headingley & Hyde Park .
