West Berkshire Liberal Democrats are delighted to welcome Cllr Paul Dick, OBE, to the Liberal Democrat group on West Berkshire Council.

Paul, who brings extensive experience in leadership, management, local government and the field of education, has chosen to join the Liberal Democrats after seeing the work of the administration and its ambitions for the future of West Berkshire.

Cllr Dick said:

“I entered local politics with one goal. I sought to continue to use my extensive experience and knowledge of leadership and management, particularly in education, to contribute to the services enjoyed by our West Berkshire community. “Our children deserve the very best, and I want to assist in the search for excellence for all. I have come to admire the dedication and positivity in the Liberal Democrat administration and am keen to join their forward-thinking team. Jeff Brooks is an accomplished leader in whom I can place my trust, and I look forward to sharing his ambition for the residents of West Berkshire.”

He has seen the Liberal Democrat administration at work and shares our positive ambition for what we can achieve in the years ahead. We want to bring together people with the experience, energy, and ideas to deliver excellent public services, support our communities, and give West Berkshire the ambitious future it deserves.
