Welcome to the Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats website.
Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats represent an independent and committed point of view in the life of our town and district. Whilst traditionally not the largest party across our constituency, we are the clear alternative in most areas. And in case anyone is in doubt, we are absolutely not in coalition at local level!
Our constituency covers most of Sevenoaks District – with however several wards in the south of our District allocated to Tonbridge & Malling, and one in the north-east to Dartford. Sevenoaks is expected to remain a constituency with the forthcoming redistribution – but with significant changes.
We try to contest elections at all levels in all parts of our area – and at present hold two seats on Sevenoaks District Council, plus four on Sevenoaks Town Council. Most of the parish councils are of course elected on a non-party basis. The next main elections will be for Kent County Council in 2013.
This site is been progressively relaunched and will bring up-to-date local news and issues, problems and campaigns – together with information on fund-raising and political events and meetings, where you can meet the SLD team.
The truth is important to us and we hope to help correct any myths, propaganda, mischievous information and misleading observations as to Lib Dem policies, manifesto intentions and the terms of the coalition agreement. Please, therefore, send in questions for answers and debate as well suggestions for positive action – via our contact page or directly to our editor.
We feature also on facebook and on the Lib Dems’ own political social network
Lib Dem Act. (These vehicles have been a little quiet lately but we shall be reviving them.)
We invite all sympathisers to join us as Liberal Democrats and hold your head high as an honest, vibrant member of a party that seeks to improve the quality of life around us.
Audrey Gee
Chairman of Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats.
