Equal representation

With my President of the North East Liberal Democrats on I was at a meeting in Darlington with some people from the Party's Diversity Office.  Some good thinking and planning as to how we can better increase the number of people we have that are either women, people with disablities or from ethnic minorities not just in parliament, where past efforts have been made, but as Councillors, on Party decision making bodies and in public life.  Interesting ideas and plans will evolve from here onwards.

I was rather pleased that thanks to my lesson the night before from Halyey I was able to use my new phone to navigate the way from the station at Darlington to the meeting place.  Well done me !
