Just been announced that Preston’s elections in May have been cancelled at the request of the local Labour Party.
As the leader of the largest opposition party in the city we are disappointed at this decision. Lots of residents in our canvassing are saying it stinks of them running scared.

Labour might chicken out of the elections in May but we’ll keep campaigning all year round as always.
If we don’t get the chance to beat them in May it will just give us more time to beat them even harder in 2027 💪
Fantastic first Preston Lib Dem action day of 2026. Amazing squad of people

Reform in Lancashire to raise council tax by 3.8%! 😡
Weren’t they the party saying they would CUT your taxes & complained about council tax hikes 🤔
Massive tax hikes, new schools cancelled, want fracking back, more potholes and cutting vital services. That’s the pain Reform are delivering in Lancs
