When you become a Liberal Democrat Councillor, not only do you become part of your local team, but also of the national party, and will be involved in policy development at many levels. We also have a lot of internal think-tanks in the party, influencing policy, sharing ideas, and writing publications. Whatever your interest, from education to the environment, you can connect with other people in the party who share your passion: see a full list here

We also have our own organisation that supports councillors – The Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors – that, as a member of the party, you can join, get guidelines from, and attend their training sessions.

You can also attend our party conferences, which are exciting events. You will meet a wide variety of people, have access to training, discuss political ideas, and hear interesting people speak. Any member can come along and we always welcome people to join us for the weekend if they can’t come for the full 4 days. You can see details here.
