23/04/2006 New Lib Dem Branch
Liberal Democrats in the Nadder Valley, near Salisbury, are forming themselves into a new Branch, following the election of Sir Menzies Campbell as Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
Nadder Valley Organiser Mike Lennard, says: "We have decided to call the new Branch "Liberal Democrats Nadder Valley Branch". We are hoping to launch on Tuesday, 25th April at Elizabeth Hall, Tisbury."
Salisbury Liberal Democrat Leader Cllr Paul Sample is to attend the meeting, and County Councillors Ian West and Bobbie Chettleburgh will also lend their support.
Cllr Sample said: "We are in very good spirits after the election of our new Leader and the Dunfermline West by-election, where we won a seat from Labour. This move is confirmation that the Party is aiming to win in the South West of the County next May.
"I am hoping for Liberal Democrat gains in this part of the District as part of our campaign to take back control of Salisbury District Council. The Conservatives and Condependent Councillors have let local people down badly in this area."
