Welcome to Hitchin & Harpenden Liberal Democrats!

Nigel Quinton, Parliamentary Candidate for Hitchin and Harpenden

Welcome to the Hitchin & Harpenden Liberal Democrats website. I am Nigel Quinton and I am the Parliamentary Candidate for the Hitchin & Harpenden Constituency.

For more information about the county elections, and county council election results, see http://www.sixtofix.co.uk or visit the interactive website at http://www.hertsdirect.org/actweb/election/ where you can click on an area to find the results.

Stop Press: European Elections Andrew Duff, our Euro MEP was returned for another term in office. The distribution of the 7 MEPs in the Eastern Region remained the same. That is, 3 Conservatives, 2 UKIP, one Labour and one Liberal Democrat. Good news for the Liberal Democrats is that we beat Labour in the number of votes, and Andrew was returned at number 4 compared with number 5 out of the 7 last time.

Through this site we hope to keep you up-to-date with what we are doing in your area and hope that you will use it to let us know what you think too.

Best wishes,

In these days when Labour and Conservatives are almost indivisible on policy, it is the Liberal Democrats who offer the only real alternative - FREER, FAIRER AND GREENER.

Tory-run County Council failing with elderly care Wed 4th Mar 2009 Recent changes to Hertfordshire County Council contracts have left some elderly residents with NO home care services. The Tory-run County Council have taken a hand's off approach to home care provision and were lucky that their lazy attitude to the elderly didn't result in any serious incidents. As a result of the vigorous scrutiny by Liberal Democrat Councillors, Care UK have been sacked from the contract.
