On May 6th we not only have County, Mayoral and Police and Crime Commissioner elections, but also a local District Council by-election. We very much hope that Sally Ann Hart, who is the prospective LibDem candidate, will be joining Cllr Jose Hales as the second district councillor for Melbourn ward. Sally Ann is currently a member of Melbourn Parish Council. You can find out more about Sally Ann here.

We're holding a councillors' surgery on Wednesdays 5-6 PM via zoom at the moment.

Coronavirus update

We hope you have been able to stay safe and well during this difficult year. It’s been incredible to see all the volunteer activities continuing to help our local communities through the pandemic.

As district and county councillors, we have been working to assist local residents as much as possible in practical ways, through our village support schemes.  

If you are a local resident who needs any assistance please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via the above contact details.

Liberal Democrats run local campaigns across the District. We all support each other to do this, pooling our knowledge and efforts. You can view our campaigns on the campaigns page of this website.

LibDem and other campaigns which are particularly relevant to us here in Melbourn, Meldreth, Shepreth and Whaddon are highlighted below.
