South Hams Liberal Democrats

We have a waste collection crisis in South Hams. There are widespread problems with the new recycling collection service across the district and councillors have been inundated with complaints of non-collection. It has been reported that 4,000 properties have not had their bins collected. Councillors have been receiving many calls and emails notifying them of missed collections throughout the district.

'Put Britain first', Boris Johnson told

Cheryl Cottle-Hunkin with two of her lambs - scenes like this may be a thing of the past if the Prime Minister gives in over the Australian trade deal

As the Government seeks to conclude a trade deal with Australia in record time, Devon farmers have joined in widespread condemnation of reports that the agreement will allow unlimited and tariff-free imports of meat which will undercut British producers, calling it a 'betrayal of British farming.'

Councillor Alan Connett has been announced as the Leader of Devon County Council's Lib Dem Group, and Leader of the Opposition on Devon County Council for the next Council term.

Alan has been on Devon County Council, representing Exminster and Haldon, since 2008. Julian Brazil, councillor for Kingsbridge, has been elected as Deputy Leader of Devon County Council's Lib Dem Group.

A big thank you to everyone who voted for our candidates in last week's County Council elections, and to the numerous volunteers who helped to get our message out in these challenging times.

Not only did we re-elect Julian Brazil in Kingsbridge, but in South Brent and Yealmpton we achieved approximately a 20% swing and managed to overcome the incumbent (the only division in the South Hams to do this)

Vote for Victor Abbott on Thursday. Get the very best for Ivybridge.

Vote for Julian Brazil on Thursday. Vote for the best for Kingsbridge.

Vote for Dan Thomas on Thursday. It's time for positive change in Brent and Yealmpton.
