Town Election results - every Lib Dem elected!

Liberal Democrats gained control of Haslemere Town Council in the May 2023 elections with a top-class and experienced line-up of candidates, backed in its entirety by residents of Haslemere, Grayswood, Hindhead and Beacon Hill. In Farnham and Godalming, residents decided to vote in every Lib Dem standing for election to our Town Councils, in a resounding endorsement for the party.

Residents have continued to back Liberal Democrats working for them at our town and parish councils, with a total of 24 candidates being elected in May 2023. In Haslemere, this has resulted in a shift of power from no overall control to a Lib Dem majority - an enormous change since 2019 when there were no Lib Dem councillors representing Haslemere at any level, and a big success for Lib Dems in the area.

Across the borough, every Liberal Democrat standing for election to our town and parish councils was elected successfully, in a ringing endorsement for the positive vision of our candidates and hard work of our existing councillors for residents.
