County Councillors (Liberal Democrat Group on Norfolk County Council)

		Brian Watkins - Group Leader Division: Eaton First Elected: May 2013 01603 259306 \| brian.watkins.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? Back in the 1970s, I saw Harold Wilson and Ted Heath as the grey men of British politics. Along with many young people at the time I wanted to be inspired, and I put my faith in the Liberals to bring about change for the better. Nowadays, the Lib Dems remain the only party that is truly internationalist, that combines economic competence with strong public services, and enthusiastically promotes diversity and social justice.
