Not a good start

The Liberal Democrats is the party with the largest number of councillors on Tunbridge Wells Borough Council but is well short of a majority.

The Lib Dems need the support of the Alliance if it wishes to form a stable administration.  A deal with Labour and the three independents is another option.  

The Lib Dem leader states negotiations are being held with other parties.  The leader of the Alliance states there has been no approach from the Lib Dems.  Not a good start.  Hardly inspires confidence
