I have today joined Councillor Julia Wassell as member of the Liberal Democrat Group on
Bucks County Council and Wycombe District Council. This is a positive choice I have made in the interests of the community as I believe that Councillor Wassell and I have worked very well together for several years. We can achieve more for residents if we continue working together.
