Meet our Candidates for West Surrey!
After years of being let down by the Conservatives, both locally and nationally, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Many of us are angry: our services are crumbling, the cost of living is soaring, and it feels like we are paying more for less. Worst of all, it feels like no one is listening.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Your local council makes the decisions that hit home every day. It’s about your child’s school, the life in our town centres, and the places where your family spends time. These things aren't just "services"—they are the heart of our community.
A Liberal Democrat controlled council offers West Surrey a fresh start. We don’t just want to manage further decline; we want to lead with a new vision. Our values are simple:
- Putting you first - people and communities before structures or ideology,
- Protecting those in need - support for our most vulnerable
- Getting the Basics Right - fixing the roads and rivers
- Honest Leadership - open, accountable decision-making
- Respecting your money - spending wisely and on the things that actually matter to you.
This is your chance to choose a Council that listens. Let’s give West Surrey a Fresh Start.
You can find out more about candidates standing in your area below, remember you have TWO votes in the election on May 7th, vote Liberal Democrat twice for strong team for your area!
You can read more detail about our plans for the new West Surrey Unitary Authority in our manifesto below.
