Chesterfield Council Leader Lib Dem Ray Russell
The Liberal Democrats have controlled Chesterfield Borough Council since May 2003 when the 30 year old Labour administration was swept away in a landslide victory. Elections in May 2007 increased the Lib Dem representation on the Council still further. The Borough Council is currently (November 2009) made up of 38 Liberal Democrat Councillors and 10 Councillors of the Labour Party.
The Liberal Democrats are proud to lead a Council that has won a score of major awards in the last few years, for projects ranging through licensing, craftsmanship, tourism and health, energy efficiency, "Britain in Bloom", use of new technology and the achievements of its young craft apprentices.
