Liberal Democrats have a higher profile alongside the Green Party at Lancaster City Council, after this week’s election of a new council leader and formation of a new cabinet which includes two specific economic posts for Lancaster and Morecambe.

Green councillor Caroline Jackson was elected the new council leader at a special meeting on Monday after a previous shared administration with Labour was ended.

This new chapter will be Caroline Jackson’s second time as a Green city council leader after previously holding the position in 2021-23.
