Thank you to all those new party members and volunteers across Bournemouth East who have given so generously of their time over the last few weeks.

Not only have you helped to get our message to voters in Bournemouth, but you’ve been helping secure votes in Mid Dorset & North Poole, Romsey & Southampton North, and Winchester. It has been an incredible effort and, no matter what the result, we have seen the rebirth of the Liberal Democrats in Bournemouth after some very difficult years.

Our future looks bright and we are ready to grow once more, strengthening our team on BCP Council and preparing ourselves to challenge even more strongly at the next general election.
