Demand Better For Gateshead!
Welcome to the Gateshead Liberal Democrats website. Our team of Councillors represent wards across Gateshead, and our members actively work for residents across the borough.
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!
Get in touch if you need help with an issue, have an idea to improve Gateshead, or want to get involved. We are always delighted to meet with residents.

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

Health, Care & the NHS
Supporting People to Age Well
Supporting people to age well and maintain their independence is better for them and common-sense for the NHS. The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to fix social care, protect our NHS, and ensure everyone can age well in their own home and community.
