Said Nigel Quinton: "Libdem success both ends of the constituency - Liberal democrats took control of St Albans City & District Council last night, and in North Herts became the official opposition on a spectacularly bad night for Labour. - Full results digest will follow"

North Herts District Council Liberal Democrats repelled a strong Tory challenge In Hitchin Highbury, Chesfield and Baldock East on Thursday and as a result are now the main party of opposition to the high cost Tory Council.

The results in Highbury, Chesfield and Baldock are a very strong testament to the hard work done by the Councillors in the Ward, Clare Body, Lee Downie and Marilyn Kirkland have worked all year round with local residents to ensure their concerns and problems are addressed along with their fellow Lib Dem Councillors on NHDC.

That is why the residents of these areas went out at the elections and supported these 3 fine Councillors and had the confidence to return them to serve them for a further 4 years, despite the Conservatives throwing everything at these wards in their desperation to remove these excellent Lib Dem Councillors.

In these days when Labour and Conservatives are almost indivisible on policy, it is the Liberal Democrats who offer the only real alternative - FREER, FAIRER AND GREENER.

The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.
