Announcing the Liberal Democrat Candidate for St Chads

The Liberal Democrats are proud to announce Nigel Grace as our official candidate for the St. Chad’s division in the upcoming County Council elections. A long-standing resident of the area, Nigel brings a deep commitment to sustainability, fairness, and community-led change. His calm, collaborative approach and strong local ties make him an ideal representative for the challenges and opportunities facing St. Chad’s.

Nigel was selected following an open and competitive vote by local party members – a cornerstone of the Liberal Democrat approach to democracy. Unlike many parties, our members have a real say in choosing their candidates. Nigel’s selection was a close result, reflecting a strong and passionate debate. That is what local democracy looks like when it’s done properly – with fairness, transparency, and respect for the views of members. We are proud of the process and confident in the outcome.

We also wish to express our sincere thanks to Fran Oborski for her many years of service to the Liberal Democrats, and Shazu Miah. We wish Fran and Shazu well. Our focus now is on the future – and on supporting Nigel Grace’s campaign to bring fresh energy, experience and integrity to the County Council.
