The Liberal Democrats may be in coalition nationally with the Conservatives but in Spelthorne the Lib Dems are united as the only opposition to the ruling Tories. In four years we have doubled our number of Councillors whilst Labour have had none since 2003.
In this Manifesto we set out how a Liberal Democrat run Spelthorne Council will serve the 90,000 residents of our Borough 2011 to 2015. We also show the Lib Dem track record of campaigning and holding the ruling Conservatives to account since 2007.
