The Liberal commitment to localism and local power has strong historical roots. Discuss the Liberal innovations in local government in Birmingham in the 1870s, led by Joseph Chamberlain, and in Manchester in the 1920s, led by E. D. Simon, with Dr Ian Cawood (Associate Professor of History, University of Stirling) and Dr Brendon Jones (University of Manchester).
This is a fringe meeting at the Liberal Democrats' spring conference in York. You do not have to be registered for the conference to be able to attend.
We will not be live-streaming the meeting, but we will post a recording of it on this website soon afterwards.
