All of our candidates have signed a pledge to their local communities. This is their pledge.

The local community and its constituents are a Lib Dem councillor’s top priority. We represent you before any politics.

If you elect us to be your councillors, we promise to:

• Be responsive to your needs and offer fair treatment for everyone
• Fight for individual freedoms and overturn prejudice, through consultation and openness
• Push hard for environmental gains through sustainable policy initiatives (accelerating Lib Dem achievements up to 2012)
• Improve local decision making by energising people power and community strength
• Secure sound finances founded on Value for Money and wellbeing/Social Value
• Encourage innovation and commercial opportunities at the Council
• Co-operate across the greater Bristol region, to remove barriers to working and encourage listening
