A Lib Dem Council would empower residents to have a real say over issues that matter. In the meantime we speak up for people who all too often feel let down. Gateshead charges the highest levels of Council Tax for band D properties of any metropolitan borough in the country but residents feel that it is out of touch and unresponsive. That has to change!
Councillor Ron Beadle
Welcome to the new Gateshead Liberal Democrats website. Our team of 13 Councillors represent wards across Gateshead. We actively campaign across the borough, and we gained a new Councillor in each of the last two elections. We have been the only Opposition to Labour on the Council since 1996.
Currently we represent:
- Dunston Hill and Whickham East
- Low Fell
- Pelaw and Heworth
- Whickham North
- Whickham South and Sunniside
With activists across all 22 wards.
Our website includes information to help you get involved in community issues and access useful services such as reporting fly-tipping and responding to planning applications. You will also find contact details for each Councillor and updates about what we are doing for you!
