South Northamptonshire Liberal Democrats have been recognised with an award at the Liberal Democrats national conference. The award was for their outstanding campaigning material. In May Towcester elected myself and Councillor Chris Lofts to South Northants Council.

It was good to have the work of local activists recognised. However it’s the all year round work of local Lib Dems that was key to winning council seats, not just the election campaign. My fellow councillor Chris lofts said: “Winning awards is great but we are now focusing on keeping our election pledges, in particular making sure the council’s policies and actions are scrutinised.”

Scott Collins, Parliamentary Spokesperson for the South Northants Liberal Democrats, was pleased with the result saying: “Its always good to have local campaigns and campaigners recognised. Martin and Chris were excellent at understanding and expressing views that reflected those of many people in Towcester who feel the Conservatives have not been listening to them.”

The highly commended award for quality design and content of was presented at the Liberal Democrats Autumn Conference by Party President Tim Farron MP. The award was given for the high quality design and content of election literature.
