Mike Bell elected as Leader of the Lib Dems on North Somerset Council
Weston-super-Mare Central Ward Councillor Mike Bell has been elected as Leader of the 6-strong Liberal Democrat Group on North Somerset Council following their AGM, with Weston-super-Mare West Ward Councillor Mark Canniford as Deputy Leader of the Group.
The Liberal Democrat Group increased in size at the recent elections following 5 gains from the Conservatives in Weston Central and Weston West wards.
Mike Bell said: “I’m delighted to have been asked to lead the Lib Dem Group. There are more opposition councillors on North Somerset Council following the elections, but the Conservatives remain firmly in charge.
“Our Group will be looking to provide constructive opposition at the Town Hall, challenging the Conservatives strongly where we disagree and providing support where we do not.”
