Gloucester ranked the worst funded council in England after a decade of cuts
Between 2015 to 2016 and 2025 to 2026, Gloucester has seen a 3.9% cash reduction in Core Spending Power, the Government’s own measure of council funding
Councillor Sebastian Field represents Podsmead Ward on Gloucester City Council and was first elected in a by-election in July 2019.
Sebastian is a former Mayor of Gloucester and previously served as a city councillor in Kingsholm Ward for nine years.
He has a strong record standing up for Podsmead on the city council. He has spoken up and asked questions of the Conservative administration, and fought for a fair deal for our area.
He has challenged the Conservative-run Highways department at Shire Hall over the poor state of Podsmead's roads and pavements.
Sebastian is the cabinet member for the environment as part of the Lib Dem administration running the city council.
Podsmead is part of the Hempsted & Westgate county council division and Rebecca Trimnell, a city councillor in Westgate ward, will be the Liberal Democrat candidate in May 2025.
