Welcome

Dear friend,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Hereford and South Herefordshire. I was selected to be the candidate by the local Liberal Democrat party in March 2007 following Paul Keetch's announcement that he would not be standing for election as Member of Parliament again. I ran Paul Keetch's successful campaign to be elected as the Liberal Democrat MP for Hereford in 1997. I am delighted that Paul is backing my campaign.

Like Paul Keetch, I live with my family in Hereford. As a result I also understand and share many of the concerns of local people. I love our county. I am currently actively campaigning on a range of issues including our local health services, pushing for affordable homes for local people and fighting against proposals that damage or close local facilities such as threats to our post offices and our schools.

Please scroll down to find links to more information on my recent campaigns and my views on current issues of the day. Please have a look around my site and do send me an email or telephone if you have any questions or if you would like to get more involved with the Liberal Democrats in Herefordshire.

Thanks again for visiting. I hope to see you soon.

With best wishes

Sarah
