New features will be added all the time so please feel free to come back and see how things are developing. I am looking forward to hearing your comments on my new website.

Heather Kidd - Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Ludlow & Bridgnorth

The Conservatives took this seat from the Liberal Democrats in 2005. It will only take a 2.2% swing from the Conservatives to the Liberal Democrats for us to retake this constituency. With your help I intend to see that we do!

The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.
