When it comes to local government reorganisation, Liberal Democrat local government spokesperson Vikki Slade is well-versed in the details. Prior to her Parliamentary career, she was a councillor at Poole BC before it morphed into Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP) and she took over as leader of the new unitary.
This weekend, she will open the Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth, alongside BCP's now leader – at Slade's insistence – Millie Earl.
