My Liberal Democrat colleagues and I believe that councillors should focus on providing the best possible services for local people – and not spend time refighting national political battles in the Council chamber.

In the election, the Liberal Democrats, SNP and Labour all gained seats on the City Council following the election on Thursday 5th May. In contrast, the Conservatives and Independents both lost seats.

The overall result was:

Party	Councillors
SNP	20
Labour	11
Conservative	8
Liberal Democrats	4
Independent	2

Over the next few days there will be conversations and discussions between members of the parties represented on the City Council to see if a programme for the next five years can be agreed. In approaching those discussions, the Liberal Democrat councillors will focus on securing the delivery the policies and priorities in our 2022 Aberdeen City Council election manifesto.
