Council acts against care experience discrimination
9 March 2024
Local Councillors have decided that B&NES Council will treat being “care experienced” as if it were a protected characteristic, alongside aspects of identity such as race and disability. The aim is to ensure that the council avoids any decisions or policies which could discriminate against care experienced people, in recognition of the lifelong impact of experiencing the care system.

Lib Dems Save 94 Bus from Trowbridge to Bath
28 February 2024
The Lib Dems have had a major win in our ongoing fight to restore regular, reliable bus services to North East Somerset. B&NES Council has secured funding for the 94 bus, a vital rural service linking villages between Bath and Trowbridge. The victory follows the campaign led by Lib Dem Cllr Fiona Gourley (Bathavon). So far, over 1,300 residents have signed the petition to save rural buses. The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) sits on £57m for public transport but has axed most rural bus routes in North East Somerset.
Join the Liberal Democrats today from as little as £1 a month and help us demand better for our future.
As a party we rely on our members and supporters to fund our local campaigning: unlike the Conservatives or Labour we can’t rely on big business or Trade Unions.
