Many of you will already have your copy of the October 2008 Focus - but if not, you can click on the Focus Archive and read it online.

Shipston Liberal Democrats regularly publish Focus to keep local residents in touch with what their local councillors are doing, and to give you the opportunity to let us know your views.  If you want to contact us about anything - our contact details are on the left, or you can click here.

Focus is not paid for out of your council taxes, but by local members and supporters.

I’ve started to add contact details for the local Liberal Democrat Councillors - you can see them by clicking on the links on the left.  Please feel free to contact any of us if you have any issues you would like to raise, or if you would like any advice on Town or District Council matters.

Other Town Councillors, including the Mayor, can be found here.

The latest copy of our local newsletter, ‘Focus’ will be delivered over the next few weeks.  As you know, this is delivered and paid for by local members - NOT out of your council tax!

As of today, all ‘Focus’ leaflets will be stored on the site, using the ‘Focus Leaflet Archive‘ link.

So, if you don’t get a copy (and please let me know if you don’t!) then you can see it here, and comment on it using the ‘Report a Problem‘ link.

In May I became a councillor on Shipston Town Council.  I hope to use this (very) new site to give local residents the opportunity to contact me about any issues that affect them that the Town Council influences, or for me to pass on to our two Liberal Democrat District Councillors - Richard Cheney and Bob White.

It is important to remember that the Town Council does not work on Party political lines, but I feel that it is important that local residents know what their representatives’ beliefs are.  Town Councillors are local people who are committed to doing their best for the Town, regardless of political belief.

 Just as a guide to the site - on the right is the ‘how you can help’ link - which you should click on if you would like to join the Liberal Democrats, deliver our regular Focus newsletter (paid for and delivered by local supporters - not from your council tax) or support any of our campaigns.

If you would like to let me, Richard or Bob know about a local issue - then use the ‘report a problem’ link.  We will ensure you get a response as soon as possible.

There are various links on the right hand side of the page about Liberal Democrat national campaigns.

 I hope the site will develop over the next few months - giving you information on what the Liberal Democrats are doing, and hopefully encouraging people to get involved and help you to let us know what you want us to be doing.  I can’t promise I’ll agree with everything - but I will promise to listen.  Do feel free to email me or ‘phone me if you’d prefer.
