It’s been a pleasure to meet many of you on the doorstep and hear from you about what matters to you in your area.

Full statement

Many of you have told me that life is harder for you and you feel let down by people and institutions that should make things better. People tell me they feel neglected by unresponsive Conservative councillors. Compare this with what Liberal Democrats do for people elsewhere in Hertfordshire. I am prepared to work tirelessly for a better deal for children, for decent roads, for better public transport and for more environment friendly measures. Please give me your support by voting for positive change and a county councillor that's on your side. Thank you.
