Welcome to Esher and Walton Lib Dems' website
Esher and Walton Liberal Democrats work for you and value your views on the key issues - both locally and nationally. On this site you will find news about your local Liberal Democrats, your Liberal Democrat Councillors on Elmbridge Council, and the issues we are campaigning on throughout the local area. THANK YOU to all those who voted for our candidates throughout Elmbridge during the recent County Council elections. We appreciate your support, particularly to all those who supported Keya Ashraf in the Hinhcley Wood, Claygate and Oxshott division who finished a strong second. Keya will continue to work to support fellow residents in these areas.
We work for you throughout the year - not just at election time - and are always keen to hear from residents. We regularly conduct residents surveys, but if you have something you wish to speak to us about in the meantime, please do contact me on info@esherandwaltonlibdems.org.uk. Mike Smith, Chairman - Esher and Walton Liberal Democrats Upcoming eventsLiberal Exchange eventsWe hold lively social evenings where key Liberal Democrat speakers are invited to come and discuss key topics. In March we were honoured to have Cabinet member, the Secretary of State for Energy, Ed Davey MP join us to discuss "Energy we can all afford". The previous event also featured a lively debate with Pensions Minister Steve Webb MP about the future of pensions and living through retirement. These events are open to members and non-members and are held in a variety of locations across the constituency. Details are posted on this website so do keep an eye out! The next event will take place during the summer. FarewellIt is with great fondess that we wish long-serving Claygate Councillor Jimmy Cartwright all the best as he enters retirement at the age of 81 and moves with his wife Audrey to West Sussex. We wish him a well deserved rest! Jimmy said "It's been very rewarding and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Speaking on behalf of your community is really more about being an alert and active neighbour than politics as such. After all these years you get to know the people in the village and they know you, so serving as a councillor comes naturally." Recent updates
