Many of you may have become aware that Councillor Crooks has left the Liberal  Democrats.

I was elected as a Liberal Democrat and will continue to represent the people of the Framwellgate Moor Division as a Liberal Democrat.

Equally, I will as I have done since the start, work with members of all political parties and none to improve our villages. Our area is more important than individuals of any political persuasion and I am confident that my continued hard work will continue to bring new benefit to our area.
