We’re delighted that North Herts District Council has a new Leader, Labour & Co-operative Councillor Martin Stears-Handscomb. Labour has entered Joint Administration with our fellow Councillors in the Lib Dem Group.

Expect a swift shift towards a more open, inclusive local council, a council which listens.

Martin said:

The people of North Herts deserve big improvements in their local council.

 

We can achieve that, despite deep cuts from above, but only with a more practical, honest approach. There’s no change without real change.

 

Working together, your local Labour & Co-operative and Liberal Democrats have a shared commitment to deliver much needed action for our community through a joint administration.

 

You’ll quickly see changes, with a sharp shift towards a more open and cooperative Council, which listens to people – to residents, hard-working staff and elected councillors.

 

We’re starting as we mean to go on, for example tonight Full Council will hear Extinction Rebellion present their petition as we propose a motion to declare a climate emergency and call for action on this important issue.

 

We look forward to working together, to strengthen our Council, empower local communities and build strong relationships.
