Liberal Democrats - we get things done
In the most recent KCC elections, Lib Dem councillors were elected in both Canterbury North and Canterbury South.
Liberal Democrats also continue to deliver as part of the Canterbury City Council coalition. For example, the council has:

• Introduced a resident car parking rate
• Acquired additional council homes
• Protected parish council funding.
