Incredibly proud of the whole Watford Lib Dems 🔸🔸 team and so grateful to the residents of our town for their trust in us. A vital result that allows us to get on and represent our residents at the county council, where we hope to lead the new administration and deliver real change.

🔶 We’re celebrating fantastic Watford Lib Dems 🔸🔸 results. Holding all our seats, gaining North Watford from Labour and seeing a surge in support in West Watford too. ⚠️ Nationally and locally these elections also so an increase in support for the Reform Party.

Their leader often praises Donald Trump and like him they offer divisive and destructive politics. 🙋‍♀️ Join us if you want to offer a better approach. We will always work with our community to make Watford a better place for everyone. watfordlibdems.org/get-involved

Reform UK have announced that they want to ban council’s from flying flags such as our town’s borough flag. I think local communities and councils should have the freedom to celebrate our local history and heritage, proudly flying our Audentior flag on special occasions.

Congratulations to Steve Jarvis - just elected as the first ever Liberal Democrats leader of Hertfordshire County Council! After 26 years of Conservative leadership I know he’ll be focused on improving special needs education, the state of our roads and pavements and bus services and our environment.

A privilege to nominate Cllr Sohail Bashir to be the Vice Chairman of Watford Council this year. I am sure that he and Cllr Favour Ezeifedi will represent our town with distinction.
