Liberal Democrat candidates say Lichfield residents heading to the ballot box will be able to see for themselves that the Conservatives “are not delivering”.

In a joint statement, Paul McDermott, Hugh Ashton and Scott Hollingsworth told *Lichfield Live* that they hoped voters would seek change.

The trio, who will all contest the Stowe ward, at either Lichfield City Council or Lichfield District Council, said:

> “The Conservatives running our councils are not delivering.  
>  
> “There is still no promised cinema or leisure centre and the Friarsgate site in Stowe ward opposite Lichfield City train station is a wasteland – another year passes and it’s still boarded up.”  
>  
> Stowe ward Liberal Democrat candidates

The trio said campaigning for carriageway repairs on Trent Valley Road, action on residents being incorrectly fined for using a city centre car park and a motion at the city council to ensure future decisions are considered against a backdrop of climate change, showed that the Lib Dems were already delivering for local people. environmental impact consideration.

> “As Lib Dem candidates we are hard-working and care – we have solutions to make Stowe better for all and they get things done.”  
>  
> Stowe ward Liberal Democrat candidates
