Guildford Liberal Democrats
Working hard all year round for everyone across Guildford Borough
On Thursday May 7th people across the borough will have the chance to vote in the most significant local election in decades - the election for the new West Surrey Council. This is your chance to ensure you have a strong team of Liberal Democrat councillors who will stand up for you on this council and help ensure that the Lib Dems can run the new council and deliver positive change for West Surrey.
For too long the Conservatives at Surrey have failed local people - their decisions have created £4.5 billion of debt that has to be tackled, our roads are riddled with potholes and vulnerable children and adults are being failed.
Your votes for your local Liberal Democrat candidates on the 7th can bring the change we need.
