Buckingham Liberal Democrats

Cllr Peter Cooper has joined the Buckingham Liberal Democrats in February 2020 and has vast experience, having represented the Wingrave Ward on the Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) for twenty years.

Cllr Anders Christensen of the Liberal Democrats Group described Peter Cooper as follows: 'As an Independent member Peter has been a model of diligent representation for the people of Wingrave Ward. He has been successful in holding the Tory administration to account and we have worked closely with him on many issues. Exposing the costly fiasco of Aylesbury Vale Broadband has been a perfect example of how we have worked together for the benefit of local residents. Now, as members of the same group, we will each be stronger.'

Cllr Cooper commented, '... I feel that as a lone Independent on that huge council, with 147 members, my voice may not be heard so I have joined the Liberal Democrats where I know I will have the support of a strong and active group of experienced councillors. I am keen to take forward my experience from 20 years in local government to ensure that, in its first term, the Buckinghamshire Unitary Council delivers its full potential for the benefit of our residents.'
