Welcome to Watford Liberal Democrats web site

The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.

Watford Parliamentary Constituency covers all of the Watford Borough Council area and a part of Three Rivers District Council. The Liberal Democrats currently control both Watford Borough Council and Three Rivers District Council with substantial majorities.

In 2002, Dorothy Thornhill was elected as the first directly elected Mayor of Watford. She was re-elected in 2006 with over 50% of the vote.

At the 2005 General Election, Liberal Democrat Sal Brinton came within 1,100 of unseating the Labour MP and becoming MP for Watford.

The Liberal Democrats continue to campaign across Watford for local people. With more Councillors than Labour and the Conservatives combined across the area, the Liberal Democrats are the clear challengers in Watford Constituency at the next General Election.
