Your local Liberal Democrat campaigners

The Liberal Democrats are the largest group in the coalition running Colchester Borough Council with 23 seats. Labour have just 7 seats and the Highwoods Independents 3, with the opposition Conservatives having 27 seats. The new coalition took control of the Council following a disastrous set of elections for the Conservative Party in May 2008 following months of inaction over the proposed Visual Arts Facility. On this page you can find details of your local Lib Dem Councillors and campaigners, and what they have been campaigning on. Please click on the links below of the area you live in.
