Are your Local Conservatives to blame for National Conservative Policies? They don't want you to think so.
Jamie Christie, Lib Dem candidate for Leomansley in the Lichfield District and City Council elections on 4 May writes "Across the country, including in Lichfield and Burntwood, Conservative Party candidates in the 4 May local elections are describing themselves on ballot papers as 'Local Conservatives'. While local election candidates in Liz Truss's constituency can perhaps be forgiven for wanting to spare themselves the embarrassment of being associated with the former Prime Minister's party, Conservative party associations in Hampshire, Nottinghamshire, and elsewhere seem similarly keen to put some distance between themselves and the national party.

Chris Raymond - 2023
I have lived and worked in and around the Clatterbridge ward area for the past 40 years and am seeking election to the council once again after standing for the first time in 2022. As a local GP for over 30 years, I know the people, their homes and the wider community very well, though my job was not only about treatment and diagnosis. In equal importance was acting as an advocate for my patients and helping them to navigate and access health, benefits and community services and I would welcome an opportunity to renew elements of this very rewarding role on behalf of local residents. I have very recently retired from part time work in the Courts & Tribunal Service adjudicating benefits appeals which has kept me in touch with the problems people are experiencing after the Covid pandemic and now facing the energy, inflation and cost of living crisis.
