Welcome to the web site for St Austell and Newquay Liberal Democrats

Welcome to the website of the St Austell & Newquay Liberal Democrats!

I'm the prospective Liberal Democrat MP for the "new" seat in the Heart of Cornwall. The seat takes in Cornwall's largest two towns - St Austell and Newquay, as well as a number of smaller towns and villages, including St Columb Major, St Stephen, St Enoder, Indian Queens, Roche, Bugle, Stenalees, Penwithick, St Blaise, St Dennis, Tywardreath, Par, Fowey, Mevagissey and St Mewan.

It's an exciting time here in Cornwall - we are currently in the middle of the most important set of elections that Cornwall has seen in a generation.

The result of who is elected to serve on the NEW Cornwall Council will set the direction for our unity for a long time to come.

Here in St Austell & Newquay, we have an excellent set of Council Candidates, between them, they have hundreds of years of experience of being councillors, as well as the fresh ideas to drive the new council forward.

You can find out more about the local election candidates by clicking on the 'Contact List' section to the right and more about me and the work I do by clicking on the 'Stephen Gilbert' link to the right.

We are here to help you - so if there is anything we can do, please get in touch.

Many thanks,

Stephen Gilbert

PS: If there is something that you think we should have on our website that we don't currently have on there, please let us know.
