Welcome to Ashfield & Eastwood Liberal Democrats

Campaigning for a better Ashfield & Eastwood

It has been a fantastic result for the Liberal Democrats in Ashfield & Eastwood, where they suceeded in slashing Labour's majority from over 10,000 to just 198! This followed a great result in the County Council elections in 2009 where the Liberal Democrats won five of the eight in the Ashfield Parliamentary constituency. The Lib Dems won Eastwood, Kirkby South, Sutton North, Sutton West and Sutton Central.
