Lib Dems Take the Lead in Camden

The winning team of 20 Lib Dem councillors in May 2006 standing on the steps of Camden Town Hall

With 24 councillors, the Lib Dems are the largest group on Camden Council. The winning team in May 2006 is seen here on the steps of Camden Town Hall.

Camden Liberal Democrats emerged as the largest party after the May 2006 council elections. The Lib Dems gained 13 seats - including 3 from the Conservatives - to bring an end to 35 years of Labour control of the town hall.

Lib Dems have since won a further seat from the Conservatives in the September 2008 Hampstead by-election and two from Labour in by-elections in Haverstock in 2007 and Kentish Town in 2006.

Quotes of the Week

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg."

Lord Norman Tebbit

Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan

"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do."

Vince Cable MP
