Welcome to the Surrey Heath Liberal Democrats
Through this site you should be able to connect to all the information you need about the Liberal Democrats and their activities here in Surrey Heath.
The photo above features Alasdair Pinkerton, our Parliamentary Candidate last December, who succeeded, with the support of our highly effective local Party machine, in making a huge gain in the LibDem vote in the constituency. He remains our Parliamentary Spokesperson and in addition to reading about him on this website you can keep in touch with his views and activities via his Facebook Page.
Despite the disappointment of the General Election result nationally in December last year Surrey Heath Liberal Democrats have built on the huge success in getting TEN new Councillors elected to Surrey Heath Borough Council (SHBC) in May 2019 - becoming the second largest Group on the Council and subsequently denying the Tories their majority on the Council. We have grown our membership and support base in Surrey Heath dramatically in the last 12 months and now form the major opposition to Michael Gove in Parliament and to the Tories on the local Council who, as a result of our Lib Dem Group's activities, are now in total disarray.
You can join us in Surrey Heath either as a Member or a Supporter. One of the most effective ways of helping is to join the Surrey Heath Liberal Democrat 100 Club which, as well as providing a huge financial contribution to the Local Party, also gives you a chance of winning a cash prize every month.

The Independent Report Says Pay Increase Was Unlawful
An independent report prepared by law firm Browne Jacobson has found that the processes behind payments made to the former Surrey Heath Borough Council (SHBC) Chief Executive were "unlawful" and "unprecedented".
"It's all very well for Surrey Heath Council Tory Leader, Alan McClafferty, to apologise and then to claim that, of course, things are much better now, and to make platitudinous statements about his Party being 'committed to moving the council forward' but this episode simply proves that the Conservatives in Surrey Heath are not fit to lead the Council." says the Liberal Democrat Council Group Leader Sashi Mylvaganam.

Much has happened at Surrey Heath Borough Council in 2020.
The year began with the tragic death of Bagshot Lib Dem Councillor Sam Kay, who passed away in Frimley Park Hospital following a short illness. Sam was a qualified accountant and a valued member of the Lib Dem Group. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family.
