Putting the pride back into Northampton

Local parliamentary candidates Paul Varnsverry, Andrew Simpson and Scott Collins

In 2007, the Liberal Democrats won control of Northampton Borough Council after years of neglect by the establishment parties.

With boundary changes at the next General Election, we are fighting hard to return the first Liberal MP in Northampton since 1923.

In 2007 and 2009, we topped the poll in Northampton North in both Borough and County Council elections.

With boundary changes at the next election, we are fighting hard to beat the Tories in Northampton South and South Northamptonshire, with Labour out of the race.

Whether in the Guildhall or County Hall, Westminster or Brussels, Liberal Democrats are working hard to put the pride back in our county town after being let down by New Labour and Blue Labour.

With the General Election fast approching, we need your support. If you think you can help us make a difference in Northampton, get in touch. For details of our councillors, candidates and MEP in your patch, see:
