The Liberal Democrats in Shepway are fielding more candidates than any party other than the ruling Conservatives at the 2011 local elections. As the official opposition to the Conservatives over the past four years, it is the Liberal Democrats who have held the Conservatives to account on the issues that matter locally - from the closure of the Leas Lift, to the expansion of Lydd Airport, and opposing a massive 6.5% rise in Council house rents this year.
Joint Chinese Liberal Democrat membership officers Yeing-Lang and Roger Crouch met up with members of the newly formed Hong Kong branch of Liberal Democrats Abroad on their recent trip to HongKong.

The key issue in the Mayoral election campaign has been the need to protect vital services for local residents while keeping tax down, at a time of real financial difficulties. In my short period as Mayor since October 2009, during which we have had to make £28 million of savings, I have prioritised the protection of services and, thanks to our approach of targetting waste and bureaucracy within the Council and focusing savings in Borough Hall rather than out in the community, we have avoided the widespread cuts seen elsewhere nearby across the country.
