CHRIS BATESON
Staines and Ashford Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce the selection of Chris Bateson as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Staines South & Ashford West Division in next May’s Surrey County Council election.
Chris has been the Spelthorne Borough Councillor since 2019 when won the Conservative stronghold of Staines South and was then returned with over 70% of the vote in 2023 as a consequence of the massive difference he has made.
HARRY BOPARAI
Spelthorne Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce the reselection of Cllr. Harry Boparai as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Sunbury Common & Ashford Common division in next May’s Surrey County Council election.
Harry sensationally seized Sunbury Common and Ashford Common from the conservatives by just 15 votes in a by-election in November 2022, and many residents will know from personal experience what a huge difference he has made to the area already. Harry says he is “incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished in just two years. Together, the residents and I have had great success by working closely together.”
GERALD GRAVETT
Stanwell & Stanwell Moor Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce that local champion Gerald Gravett has been selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Stanwell and Stanwell Moor division in next May's County Council elections.
Gerald has lived in the local area for over forty years and personally experiences the issues affecting his neighbours. Gerald says that “Stanwell and Stanwell Moor has many issues that seem to have been either ignored or unsatisfactorily dealt with for so long. A fresh approach is needed.”
RICHARD HERMAN
Sunbury Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce that local champion, Richard Herman, has been selected as the Lib Dem candidate for the Lower Sunbury & Halliford division in next May’s Surrey County Council election.
Richard is well aware of local issues as he has lived in Lower Sunbury for almost forty years. He now has the time to serve on the council as he recently retired as managing director of his own business which employed 27 staff. Richard's company exported to America & the rest of Europe, so he knows from personal experience the impact of Brexit on business.
