Local elections in Fortis Green

As I've already mentioned, one of my Fortis Green ward colleagues is standing down at this election - Cllr Sara Beynon. Sara has been great to work with over the last four years, a lovely person and a great member of the Lib Dem team. We're all sorry to see her go.

I am standing for re-election on Thursday, along with my fellow Fortis Green Lib Dem Cllr Martin Newton. In Sara's place we have a great new candidate - Sophie Erskine. Sophie also lives locally and has already been getting stuck into the campaigning work. You can see the three of us together in the cheesey photo above.

Remember, although you cannot vote for more than one candidate in the general election, you can vote for three candidates in the local elections which are happening on the same day here in Haringey. So everyone who is eligible will get two different ballot papers - one for the general and one for the local.

As the ballot paper is alphabetical, you can look for your three local Lib Dem candidates for Fortis Green by scanning for our surnames (Davies, Erskine, Newton) and/or looking out for the Liberal Democrat bird logo. Then you can vote for all three of us and I hope you will consider doing that!

Remember, it's a straight fight between Labour and the Lib Dems in Haringey - there have been no Conservatives elected to the council since 1998. Please help us end four decades of Labour rule in Haringey - last time you elected 30 Labour and 27 Lib Dem councillors and it's bound to be close again this time.
