Commenting on last nights meeting of Full Council Michael Headley, Liberal Democrat Group Leader, commented:
The Bedford Lib Dems have elected their new officers and spokespeople on Bedford Borough Council.
Liberal Democrats on Bedford Borough Council were effectively gagged when they attempted to propose a change to the council's spending policy. The only way they were able to challenge the build up of council reserves was by raising a petition.
Yesterday's elections in Bedford Borough saw the Lib Dems move into second place in votes across the whole Borough. This makes the Lib Dems the key challengers for the Mayoral Election in October.
The Liberal Democrats are fielding a full 54 candidates across Bedford Borough for the May 2002 local elections - 9 more than Labour.
