Lib Dem county council election candidates in Suffolk Coastal
The Liberal Democrats are pleased to confirm that we are fielding candidates in every county electoral division in Suffolk Coastal, at the upcoming County Elections on May 4th. Last week's articles on this website summarised the key priorities of Suffolk's Liberal Democrat candidates within the remit of the county council, and we are promoting a positive message under the theme of:
an open, tolerant, happy place to live, learn and work
Suffolk Liberal Democrats Chair, Jon James, said: "The Liberal Democrats have had some difficult years, but it certainly feels like a corner has been turned locally and nationally. Party membership has soared, reaching over 87,000 nationally -- over double our membership since 2015 -- and the Party has clocked up over 30 net gains in local by-elections over the past six months. We want to build on this success with some strong election results in Suffolk this year."
