East of England map

The East of England Region covers six counties, from the commuter belt surrounding London, to the fertile agricultural land of the Cambridgeshire Fens, and of Norfolk and Suffolk.

You're probably not that far from a Liberal Democrat Parliamentarian, with at least one based in each county, either in the Commons or the Lords, as well as our member of the European Parliament, Andrew Duff, who covers the entire Region.

The country's two elected Liberal Democrat mayors, Dave Hodgson (Bedford), and Dorothy Thornhill (Watford) are both from our Region, we form the administration in Cambridge, Three Rivers and Watford, and lead it as the largest party in Colchester.

    I have long campaigned with colleagues for the delivery of an East West Rail line between Bedford and Oxford to the West and Bedford to Cambridge (and beyond) to the East. Re-opening these links to major centres such as Oxford and Cambridge and to main lines to the east and west would provide a tremendous boost for our local economy, helping to attract investment and support jobs and growth. I was therefore delighted last autumn when the Government announced its commitment to deliver the Western section of the East-West Railway, between Bedford and Oxford and Bedford and Aylesbury.

    Cambridge Liberal Democrats have today (Monday, May 14) announced that Councillor Tim Bick will be taking over from Councillor Sian Reid as the group's new leader.

    Sian has decided to step down following surgery earlier this year and the need to take some time to fully recover.

    The Lib Dems have also elected their front line team for the coming year with Cllr Catherine Smart continuing as the group's deputy leader. They propose she will continue to have responsibility for housing, Cllr Tim Ward with the planning and sustainable transport portfolio, Cllr Rod Cantrill with arts, sport and public places and Cllr Jean Swanson with the waste and recycling portfolio.
