Funding from our Tory Government to replace Winnignton Bridge has been denied. Funding from our Labour Council to fix the landslip at Soot Hill has been denied. Residents of Marbury are never given priority, and our councillors do not fight hard enough for us. Money is poured into Chester and Winsford, but our parish councils are left to fend for themselves.
Enough is enough.
It's time we sent a message in Marbury, that we won't be taken for granted any more. As Lib Dem councillors we promise to put residents at the heart of everything the council does. We will keep on fighting for residents in all corners of our ward; wether those facing the prospect of years of mistery at the hands of HS2 Ltd in Wincham, those in Sutton Weaver and Aston fighting for parity with their neighborus in Halton when it comes to paying Mersey Bridge tolls, or those in Barnton who's schools are overstretched because of poorly planned new housebuilding. We promise to make your council work for you - after all, that's what it's there for.

A retired Fire Officer, Roy has been a community leader in Barnton since moving here in 1993. He served as a Vale Royal Borough Councillor from 1999 to 2009, during which time he fought hard to make sure residents across Barnton got a fair deal from the council. He has been speaking up for a second Winnington Bridge, more GP appointments, and school places since proposals for new housing were pushed through by the Conservative council at the start of the millenium. Roy also clerked Barnton Parish Council for 14 years, and went on to sit on Northwich Town Council.

Since the days of Martin Bell, we've had Conservative councillors and a Conservative MP here in Marbury. They used to be people from the community who cared about making a difference. I haven't seen our current councillors once outside of election time. It's clear that for them we're just a safe seat to be parachuted into, and that they don't feel they have to work for their votes. It's time we showed them that's not the case any more!
