County Councillors (Liberal Democrat Group on Norfolk County Council)

	Steffan Aquarone - Group Leader Division: Melton Constable First Elected: 04 May 2017 01603 327 827 \| steffan.aquarone.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? I believe in taking power away from people or institutions that have inherited it or obtained it via priviledge, and giving it back to the people it affects.
	Dan Roper - Deputy Group Leader Division: Hevingham and Spixworth First Elected: 02 May 2013 07920 441970 \| daniel.roper.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? I am an egalitarian who believes politics should empower people to fulfill their potential.
	Brian Watkins - Group Chair Division: Eaton First Elected: 02 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.
	Tim Adams Division: Cromer First Elected: 04 May 2017 07450 680364 \| timothy.adams.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? I joined the Liberal Democrats because they have both the energy, and genuine desire to make life better for people and address the most serious issues when representing residents of Norfolk.
	Sarah Butikofer Division: Holt First Elected: 04 May 2017 07450 680371 \| sarah.butikofer.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? I am a Liberal Democrat as it is the only party that reflects my personal values and aspirations for our communities, and allows me to work unhindered with them to achieve the very best we can together.
	Tim East Division: Costessey First Elected: 01 May 1997 01603 743241\| tim.east.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? Should I not agree with the majority view, I'm not ostracised or excluded or even thrown out of the party. The Lib Dems are not dependent on or influenced by the unions, unlike Labour, or big business, as are the Tories, for financial support.
	David Harrison Division: Aylsham First Elected: 23 November 2007 01263 735316\| david.harrison.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? I believe in social democracy, human rights and that the state can provide services just as well as the private sector.
	Eric Seward Division: North Walsham East   First Elected: 24 October 2013  01692 403784 \| eric.seward.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? I believe that serving our communities should come first, and that we should not be driven by ideology or dogma.
	Marie Strong Division: Wells   First Elected: 4 June 2009 07920 286597 \| marie.strong.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk Why am I a Liberal Democrat? My division is arguably the most beautiful in the county and is also very rural hence conversations with my constituents are about affordable housing and transport, roads and schools, library buses and children's centres, broadband and phone connectivity. We have little time for party politics and since our county group refuses to have a whipping system constituents are assured I vote for them and their needs. I joined the liberal democrats because like others I find them to be the most palatable.
