We campaigned to Fix Shropshire Together, and we will need people across the county to help us do so. The problems Shropshire faces are huge, and can only be solved by Shropshire Council working as an equal with town and parish councils, businesses, volunteer organisations and residents.

Got to cast my vote this morning and grateful for the great groundwork by @shropslibdems.bsky.social to field so many candidates. For the first time in two decades living here I have a first choice (excellent) candidate & party I was able to vote for.

Lib Dems would create a national body for SEND & ensure funding for children with particularly acute and high level needs.

This election in Shropshire is a clear choice between a new Lib Dem council or another 4 years of the Conservatives.

Voting for Labour, Green or Reform will let the Conservatives carry on wrecking our county.

There seems to be a pattern emerging...

Average cost of repairing one pothole in different councils. Lib dem run Somerset and Oxfordshire have lower costs, £60 and £100. Councils under Tory control have much higher costs, such as Shropshire at £654 per pothole, Norfolk at £299 per pothole, and Devon at £189 per pothole.

Calling on voters in All Stretton for the committed local LibDem Cllr Mark Morris.
Local voters told us they know it’s only the LibDems that can remove the Conservatives in The Strettons ward, and across #Shropshire. There is certainly a lot of support for Mark, and so many people know him.

Local residents want the Conservatives removed from running #Shropshire Council. They want an end to the damage the Conservatives have done to the Council finances and to local services.

The Lib Dems have won 3️⃣ out of 4 by-elections during the last council term.

It’s clear that it’s only the Lib Dems who can beat the Conservatives at the council election on Thursday!
