Local councillor Claire Young to stand for Parliament

The Liberal Democrats in Thornbury and Yate have announced that their new Parliamentary Candidate is local councillor Claire Young. 

A well known local campaigner, she will lead the party's activity across the constituency, replacing Steve Webb who recently announced he would not be continuing in the role. Claire was elected following a ballot of members, in a strong field.

Claire said, "I am looking forward to continuing to fight for Westerleigh ward and the whole of the constituency. Over the summer I will be out and about with my 'Tell Claire' survey, finding out about people's concerns. If you have an issue to raise or would like to join my campaign, please get in touch."
