The Lib Dems are celebrating electoral success in Telford & Wrekin and across the country in the local elections. Locally, we grew our council group by 50% and now have six councillors. This was mirrored nationally, with the party winning 1628 council seats - a net gain of 407.
Pictured is our new council group celebrating the election result: Cllr Thomas Janke (Newport South); Cllr Bill Tomlinson (Shawbirch & Dothill); Cllr Sarah Syrda (Newport East); Cllr Kim Tonks (Admaston & Bratton); Cllr Karen Blundell (Apley Castle); and Cllr Karen Tomlinson (Shawbirch & Dothill).
