The Kent County Council elections on 1st May 2025 saw Canterbury and Coastal Lib Dems run a strong campaign, winning both our target seats of Canterbury South and Canterbury North. This was only possible with the energy, time and determination of our members including many who joined our action days and those who ensured campaign leaflets were delivered across the district.  These efforts were rewarded with the election of our two KCC councillors, Mike Sole and Alex Ricketts. Across Kent the number of Lib Dem KCC councillors doubled from 6 to 12.

This result builds on success in the local elections of 4th May 2023, where we successfully removed the Conservatives from power on Canterbury City Council. Two years into our coalition on Canterbury City Council we continue to make huge progress on our manifesto pledges, working in partnership with Labour. The market in Canterbury has returned and we look to grow and establish other markets across the district. We have also purchased 67 new council homes and are working on a long-term council housing strategy that will enable us to provide significantly more council homes in the future.

Nationally, the Liberal Democrats are back as a major force in British politics.  Following the general election on 4th July 2024 we now have 72 MPs in parliament and are once again the third party in Westminster.  Many of our local members gave their energy and time to support campaigns in the target seats of Eastbourne and Tunbridge Wells, both of which successfully elected Liberal Democrat MPs, with Mike Martin becoming our first Liberal Democrat MP In Kent.

But what can you do to help?

Whether it's leaflet delivery, canvassing, phone banking, or assisting with event coordination, your time and skills are invaluable to our cause. If you are unable to offer your time, then your donations will support our campaigns and make our voices heard.
