Have Your Say: Help Us Build a Fairer Future for Adult Social Care in the East Riding!

​As your local Liberal Democrat Councillors, we're urging every resident in the East Riding to seize this vital opportunity to help shape the future of our adult social care services.

​This month marks the launch of a crucial new consultation. The feedback we collect through this online survey will directly influence the upcoming strategies, ensuring that council services are truly tailored to local needs—not just now, but for years to come.

​We need to do more to put independence, dignity, and wellbeing at the heart of the system. This 'Have Your Say' survey is your genuine opportunity to influence how services are designed and delivered.

​East Riding Liberal Democrats believe in empowering individuals, families, and communities to be full partners in this process. We want a system that delivers the right support, at the right time, in the right place, ensuring resources are allocated effectively and fairly.

​We need to hear from everyone: whether you are currently using services, a family carer, or someone concerned about what support might be available in the future. Your lived experience is invaluable.

​Your feedback will help East Riding of Yorkshire Council understand matters most to local people and decide how resources are allocated.

​📝 How to take part:

​The survey takes just 15 minutes and can be found here: https://consultation.eastriding.gov.uk/s/ERYCAdultSocialCarePlan2025/
​Note: You can pause and return to the survey later if needed.

​Closing Date: Saturday, 31 January 2026. Please don't delay—make your voice heard!

​🗣️ Join the Discussion In-Person:
​We also believe in transparency and direct engagement! East Riding of Yorkshire Council, will be holding a series of in-person consultation events taking place early next year across the area. These sessions will be essential for ensuring the final plan truly reflects local priorities and your local Liberal Democrat councillors encourage as many people to get involved.

​For more immediate information, you can call East Riding of Yorkshire Council on 01482 393939.

​Let's work together to build an adult social care system that is genuinely fit for purpose and puts local people first.

Community Voices Must Be Heard on New “Clean Air” Solar Mega-Project

Image
​The East Riding Liberal Democrats are closely monitoring the latest developments regarding the newly rebranded Clean Air Solar Farm. While we are committed to a greener future and achieving net-zero, we believe that large-scale infrastructure projects must work with our local communities, not be imposed upon them from Whitehall. ​The proposal, a 500MW evolution of the previous "Kingfisher" project, is now being spearheaded by PS Renewables and Ørsted Onshore. Spanning two massive sites near Beverley, Lockington, and Walkington, the scale of this project is undeniable,it aims to power 160,000 homes. However, its classification as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) means the final say rests with the Secretary of State in London, bypassing the local planning control of East Ridingn of Yorkshire Council (ERYC). ​"There is a Limit": Protecting Our Rural Landscape ​The Liberal Democrats have a clear national policy to generate ...

Mayor Campbell’s £1.2m Recruitment Fiasco: A "Chaotic and Costly" Waste of Taxpayer Cash

Image
The East Riding Liberal Democrats are demanding answers after it was revealed that Mayor Luke Campbell has blown over £1.1 million on recruitment consultants, yet has failed to secure a permanent leadership team for the Combined Authority. ​Despite a staggering spend of £1,177,159 on outside agencies, the Mayor’s office remains in a state of flux. While nine executive roles, boasting salaries between £110,000 and £170,000; were advertised late last year, the public is still waiting for news of any confirmed appointments. ​ High Salaries, Zero Results ​The scale of the proposed payroll is eye-watering. The taxpayer is expected to foot the bill for a suite of high-level executives, including: ​Chief Executive: £170,000 ​Director of Legal Office: £150,000 ​Director of Finance: £150,000 ​Director of Strategy: £145,000 ​Five Senior Directors: £110,000 each ​The recruitment process has dragged on since February. The post of Director of Finance alone has seen three separate interv...

A Beacon of Hope for Our Youth: Reflecting on the DIY SOS Cherry Tree Big Build.

Image
​Last night, viewers across the country and many of us here in East Yorkshire, tuned in to BBC One to witness a moment of pure community magic. The DIY SOS: Big Build special for the Cherry Tree Youth Hub was a heart-swelling reminder of what can be achieved when a community refuses to take "no" for an answer. ​For years, the youth of the Cherry Tree area have been the forgotten face of local provision. Since the pandemic, they were forced to meet in a gazebo in a park, enduring the biting East Yorkshire winters while waiting for a place to call their own. Last night, the world finally saw the result of the "Big Build" that changed everything. ​Community Spirit vs. Council Inaction ​For the Liberal Democrats, this project is a testament to local resilience. While we have consistently campaigned for better youth provision, it was the "wonderful people" of Beverley, alongside Nick Knowles, the Gladiators, and hundreds of local tradespeople, who stepped in to...
