ABOUT LEE – Local. Visible. Accountable.
Lee Dargue is a Liberal Democrat campaigner who has made Ladywood his home and his cause. He believes the area deserves representatives who show up — not just at election time, but every week of the year. Working hard all year round isn’t a slogan. It’s a promise.
The Ladywood regeneration scheme remains one of the most pressing issues facing the area. From the outset, the Council and developer have failed to consult meaningfully with residents and businesses. Trust in the scheme is low and accountability has been absent.
Lee continues to fight for transparency, genuine community involvement, and decisions that reflect what local people actually want, not what is convenient for those in power.
Birmingham faces significant challenges. Yet the people of Ladywood are strong, proud, and willing to fight for what they believe in. Lee’s job is to make sure their voices are heard — and acted upon. (You can report issues here).
Lee is passionate about Birmingham and proud to campaign in his home ward. He believes local representatives should be accessible, honest, and genuinely accountable. Not just visible when votes are needed.
Mental health is a cause close to his heart. He has campaigned for years to give mental health provision full equality with physical health, and will keep pushing for that alongside fair pay and proper support for carers in a Social Care system under severe strain.
As a qualified teacher, Lee understands the pressures on school staff and students. He actively supports young people getting into politics and civic life and the next generation of community leaders deserve encouragement, not barriers.
Lee believes in protecting the environment, promoting health and wellbeing, and defending civil liberties. Ladywood and the city of Birmingham can thrive, with the right leadership.
