Last week I was up in Durham on a singing week in the Norman cathedral there. While I was there, I took the opportunity to meet with a group of local Lib Dem campaigners for the latest in our LDV interviews.
In Durham, they’re smarting from local government re-organisation; still proud of what Lib Dems achieved whilst running Durham city council; champing at the bit to build more social housing; and adamant the Lib Dems should not resile from their commitment to abolish tuition fees.
Hear all that and more by clicking play below (or here if you are reading this syndicated somewhere else). You can also download it for use with your MP3 player. Why not listen to the conference next time you’re out delivering leaflets? If you use iTunes you can search the podcast directory for Lib Dem Voice; for other podcast software, you can use this RSS feed of LDV’s audio content.

LG Reorganisation was a bit of a shambles really. The Lib Dems took over Durham and started to do a good job really. Mind you after years of Labour corruption it was a breath of fresh air.
Having said that I am not a fan of Carol Woods. Far too patronising and hectoring really. Never comes over that well on The Politics Show North East. I hope we are going to have a tilt at the Durham Parliamentary seat again. It is definately winnable. Lib Dems won the city last time and Labour won the outlying former mining villages.
I think we owed something to the famous Durham Cobbler as well for the council win.
