Herbert was one of the founders of the Independent Labour party in Liverpool and Southport, he was also a president and executive member of the Liverpool Trades Council and was a member of the executive body - with the Labour Redemption Committee - when these organisations where merged in to the Liverpool Labour Party.
He was first elected to the city council as Labour member for Old Swan in 1919, was out of the council from 1922-26, and then returned as a member for Breckfield. He became a magistrate in 1920, and an Alderman in 1931.
For many years he had taken part in work for the blind as a member of the executive for the Northern Counties Association for the Blind, and of the management committee of the Liverpool Workshops for the Blind. He had also been chairman of the Liverpool Area Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society, and was an official of the Assurance Agents Union.
