Meet Our Lib Dem Team for 2026: Standing Up for Our Communities Across Cheadle

I’m delighted to introduce our Liberal Democrat candidates for the local elections on Thursday 7 May 2026 – an experienced and passionate team who are ready to keep standing up for people across the Cheadle constituency.

Our councillors and campaigners work tirelessly all year round, not just at election time. From tackling unfair housing plans and protecting our Green Belt, to supporting local businesses, improving transport links, and defending vital local services, they’re the people who get things done for our communities.

Here’s your Lib Dem team so far for 2026:

Cllr Dallas Jones – Bramhall South & Woodford (restanding)

Dallas has been a tireless voice for Bramhall and Woodford, standing up for residents on issues that matter most to our villages. She’s worked closely with local people to resist inappropriate housing developments, protect the countryside around Woodford, and improve road safety across Bramhall. Whether it’s helping to keep our community spaces vibrant or pushing for better infrastructure, Dallas is deeply rooted in the area and always ready to listen to residents’ concerns.

Cllr Jilly Julian – Cheadle East & Cheadle Hulme North (restanding)

Jilly is a tireless advocate for people in Cheadle East and Cheadle Hulme North. She has championed local schools, community groups and volunteers, helping to bring people together and strengthen community ties. Jilly has also spoken up for residents affected by local flooding and transport changes, ensuring that their views are properly considered. She combines energy, empathy and experience – and she’s passionate about keeping Cheadle and Cheadle Hulme thriving.

Cllr Ian Hunter – Cheadle West & Gatley (restanding)

Ian is well known for his hands-on approach in Gatley and Cheadle West. From organising litter picks to supporting local shops on Gatley and Cheadle High Streets, he’s a visible and approachable councillor who puts community first. Ian has been at the forefront of efforts to tackle traffic problems and protect local green spaces, while making sure residents’ voices are heard in Stockport Town Hall. He’s passionate about keeping Gatley and Cheadle great places to live and work.

Cllr Helen Foster-Grime – Cheadle Hulme South (restanding)

Helen has represented Cheadle Hulme South for many years and continues to be one of the most dedicated local voices on Stockport Council. She has fought to protect the character of Cheadle Hulme, supported initiatives to make our neighbourhoods greener and safer, and stood up for families and small businesses. Helen’s deep roots in the community and her track record of delivery make her a trusted and respected councillor who always puts residents first.

Alice Delemare – Davenport & Cale Green (new candidate)

Alice is a local mum and community campaigner with deep roots in Davenport and Cale Green. She’s been a passionate voice for improving accessibility at Davenport Station, working to ensure that everyone – including parents with prams, older residents and people with disabilities – can use the station safely and easily. Alice is also committed to standing up for local families and small businesses who are feeling the pressure of the cost-of-living crisis. She’s focused on practical solutions to help our community thrive, from supporting local shops to improving public transport and green spaces. Alice brings energy, empathy and a real understanding of local issues – exactly the kind of representative Davenport and Cale Green needs on the council.

Cllr Dominic Hardwick – Norbury & Woodsmoor (restanding)

Dominic has brought energy and commitment to representing Norbury and Woodsmoor, always focused on practical solutions to local issues. He’s worked with residents to address speeding, parking problems and traveller encampment concerns, and has campaigned for cleaner, safer streets. Dominic is proud to represent a community with such a strong local spirit, and he’s determined to make sure Norbury and Woodsmoor continue to get their fair share of investment and attention from the council.

Nasser Shaikh – Heald Green (new candidate)

Nasser brings fresh energy, enthusiasm and a deep commitment to Heald Green. As a local resident, he understands the challenges facing the area – from traffic and transport to the need to protect green spaces. Nasser has been active in community and charity work for years, and he’s determined to use that experience to make a real difference for local people. His experience briging about change in the NHS will prove invaluable to Heald Green. He’s passionate about giving Heald Green residents a strong and effective voice on the council.

We’ll be announcing our final candidate soon, completing what I believe is the strongest local team anywhere in Greater Manchester.

Together, this group represents the very best of our area: people rooted in their communities, working hard every day, and always putting local people first.

If you’d like to get involved in the campaign, whether by displaying a poster, delivering leaflets, or joining us on the doorstep, we’d love to have your help. You can sign up here or drop us a message.

Let’s keep Cheadle’s voice strong on Stockport Council, and keep our area moving forward with a Liberal Democrat team that delivers.
