St Albans Liberal Democrats

28/08/2026

We Liberal Democrats stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians against Putin’s illegal war.

Councillor Helen Campbell, as Deputy Leader of the district council and on behalf of St Albans MP Daisy Cooper, joined members of the Ukrainian community who have made lives here in St Albans, to celebrate Ukrainian Independence Day at our cathedral.

Whilst there, Helen also met several young people who came here when they were young teenagers and have just received some amazing A-level results and are soon off to university. A huge congratulations!

St Albans is proud to welcome refugees; so many members of the St Albans community opened their doors and hearts to them, and we will steadfastly support them against the tyranny that Putin unleashed.

The government's decision to merge the functions of Hertfordshire County Council and all district and borough councils with four unitary councils covering Hertfordshire could disrupt vital services like SEND and social care, threatening the improvements Lib Dems have been fighting for.

Hear more from our Lib Dem district council leader, Paul de Kort, and MPs Daisy Cooper and Victoria Collins:

Lib Dems respond to today’s (16 July) government announcement to merge the functions of Hertfordshire County Council and all district and borough councils into one layer of government and create four new unitary councils in Hertfordshire.
