2025: Week 13 - Around the constituency
This week has been all about constituency matters!
After the incredible general election result in July 2024 where Martin Wrigley was elected as MP for Newton Abbot, it's time for the Lib Dems to challenge for control of Devon County Council. The candidates selected to stand for County seats in the Teignbridge area are all local champions who are passionate about working hard for you. Please use your vote on 1 May to vote Lib Dem!
Liberal Democrats see the best in things. We celebrate diversity - and non-conformity and if something isn't working we try to fix it or we fight for reform. We are committed to representing local people and making sure your voices are heard.
