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.
