The Norwich Liberal Democrats have announced the 13 candidates who will contest the local elections on 1st May. With a number of new candidates and new leaders locally and nationally, the party is looking forward with confidence to the campaign.
New Norwich Liberal Democrat Group Leader Cllr Brian Watkins said "We have an excellent team standing in May, with a blend of youth and experience. Every vote will count, as the Liberal Democrats aim for lower council taxes and services focused on community needs across the city."
