The Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce that local resident Paula Ferguson has been selected as the prospective Liberal Democrat MP for the Winchester & Chandler’s Ford Constituency.

Thanks to your amazing support, the Liberal Democrats topped the poll in the Winchester District on May 23 achieving the highest Lib Dem vote share in the South East with 40.4% of votes cast.

Yesterday was the culmination of a hugely busy campaign for this year's local elections. Throughout the year we’ve been out talking to local residents on the doorsteps, through our surgeries and area surveys on particular issues. We’ve listened to your concerns and taken action wherever we can. While we can point to many successes we could do so much more if we had a Liberal Democrat controlled City Council, which is why we were delighted to win 11 out of the 16 seats up for election.  This puts us firmly in control, with 27 seats!

Liberal Democrats have been working hard across the Winchester District campaigning for the things that matter to you and your community. We’ve been out talking to local residents on the doorsteps, through our surgeries and area surveys on particular issues throughout the year. We’ve listened to your concerns and taken action wherever we can. While we can point to many successes we could do so much more if we had a Liberal Democrat controlled City Council.

You would have an open, transparent Council which listens to what you have to say, looks after your money and cares about our communities, heritage and environment.

Isn’t that worth going out to vote for on May 2nd?

At the last Hampshire County Council meeting, the Lib Dems put forward a motion arguing for a referendum on the final Brexit deal. On Friday it was discussed by Hampshire's Cabinet.

Following the Winchester City Council Full Council meeting last Wednesday, Winchester Liberal Democrats have slammed Winchester Conservatives for blocking a vote on a motion to support a vote on the Government’s final Brexit deal.

Responding to the decision by Winchester City Council Planning Committee to back the proposed design for a new leisure centre at Bar End, Leader of the Lib Dem Group, Lucille Thompson, commented:

The Leisure Centre is an incredibly important project for the area and the city – but the project is on the wrong track and today’s decision doesn’t affect that.

I’m genuinely concerned that the planning committee has just approved an impractical unaffordable design that won’t meet local needs and will never be built.

Responding to recent events at the City Council, Lucille Thompson, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, said:

The voters sent a very clear message in May that things couldn’t go on as they are – with the Lib Dems winning a clear majority – 9 out of 15 – of seats in the district – and Conservative candidates losing every single seat in the city itself.

We are joining the march campaigning for a People's Vote in London on the 23rd June - are you coming too?

Following on from promises made in their recent successful local election campaign, Winchester Liberal Democrats will be holding an advice surgery for local residents every Saturday morning in their office in Hyde Street in addition to regular surgeries held by Councillors around the District.
