Liberal Democrats Open A Branch In Chiswick

Say there has been a major upturn in membership in W4

The Liberal Democrats’ have opened a new branch for Chiswick following what they describe as "a major upturn in membership in the various W4 postcodes."

The local party is appealing for more local residents to join either as full time members or as supporters under the national party’s new registration scheme.

The new Chiswick Chair, James Thellusson, said: ‘We’ve had lots of interest from people in joining the Liberal Democrats or helping our ‘Exit from Brexit’ campaign. But local people are also concerned by the Tory policy to force through a third runway at Heathrow and support the LibDem position on issues like air pollution. The new branch will give people a focus and a vehicle for campaigning on Chiswick and borough wide issues as well as supporting liberal values.’

The local branch, which is part of the Hounslow Borough Liberal Democrats, is the first time the Liberal Democrats have had a branch in Chiswick for some years. The local party increased its vote share at the local elections in May 2018 and has been active on the CS9 and Heathrow consultations among other recent issues.

It has now elected a new executive team to focus on campaigning for local and London wide issues including next year’s Greater London Authority elections.
