Aberdeen’s Liberal Democrat councillors this morning (Thursday 11th May) announced they would not be entering any coalition to run Aberdeen City Council.

Ian Yuill, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, said: “The Liberal Democrats believe we can best serve our constituents and Aberdeen by not joining any coalition. We will instead consider every issue before the council on its merits on a case-by-case basis.

“The Liberal Democrats will provide constructive opposition to whatever administration is‎ formed. We will continue to make the positive case for Liberal Democrat policies and priorities.”
