Alistair Stevens Campaigning in the High Peak

Welcome to High Peak Liberal Democrats!

Alistair Stevens for High Peak

The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.

The Constituency Party of the High Peak Liberal Democrats is managed by an Executive Committee which is elected annually. It manages the affairs of the party within the High Peak. Members join one of the two branches in the constitiuency, High Peak North & South. The North branch includes Glossop, New Mills and Hayfield. The South branch includes Buxton, Chapel and Whaley Bridge.

The Executive consists of a Constituency President, Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Membership Secretary and Data Officer and six ordinary members. Meetings are held regularly and move around the High Peak to make it easy for all members to come along.

We are one of the five counties which make up the East Midlands Region of the Liberal Democrats. It oversees matters like the selection of Prospective Parliamentary Candidates and is the base for our MEP, Bill Newton Dunn.

Like all constituencies of the Liberal Democrat Party we follow national policies which are voted on at conference, taking our lead from the party headquarters at Cowley Street in London.
