Conservative County Councillor switches to the Liberal Democrats

Shortly before Christmas, Cllr Maureen Hill switched from the Conservatives to the Liberal Democrats. She represents Weston ward on Northamptonshire County Council, and said:

I think it’s been a natural progression for me. I’ve found myself so much at odds with the policy of the administration I don’t feel I could possibly support any further budget cuts.

Welcoming her to the Liberal Democrats, group leader Brian Hoare said:

Maureen has made many contributions in the chamber that have echoed our thoughts, so we’re delighted to have her join us.

All this adds to the other recent good news of a switch to the Liberal Democrats.
