Local campaigning Liberals up and down the country are out campaigning all year round. Here are just a few.

Councillors support community campaign

Liberal Councillors support local residents in their campaign against the design of a new housing development proposed for their area by Kerrier District Council in West Cornwall.

Included in the picture above are: back row - Vicki Poole (1st Left), Paul Holmes (4th left), Veronica Catby (2nd right) and Roy Bentley (3rd right). (28/10/2008)

It’s serious work being a councillor

Cllrs David Morrish and Chris Gale have been surveying the state of the pavements in  Heavitree’s (Exeter) shopping centre.

A spate of pedestrian accidents have resulted in a number of older residents losing confidence to go out.

Chris Gale expressed his concern that the LibDems have cut the county maintenance budget  for pavement repairs while at the same time increasing their own  “responsibility allowances”.

“We have had good press coverage and will hopefully shame the county councillors into action on behalf of pedestrians and not themselves” added David Morrish.

Community support for candidate

Local election candidate Ann Hines (centre) and her supporters in West Derby, Liverpool.

Ann left the LibDems just before the May election and local Liberals came out to support her move.

Unfortunately she was not successful but polled a very respectable 731 votes (see our election results page) after a short campaign. A firm basis here for next year's elections.
