Liberal Democrats and the Green Party have gained prominence at Lancaster City Council following the recent election of a new council leader and the formation of a new cabinet. Green Party councillor Caroline Jackson was elected as the new council leader on Monday, succeeding Labour's Phillip Black . The election ended a previous shared administration with Labour, with the Greens taking control due to their status as the largest party.
This marks Caroline Jackson's second term as council leader for the Green Party, having previously held the position from 2021 to 2023. The new cabinet includes four new members and two specific economic posts for Lancaster and Morecambe.
