The year since the last local election in May 2016 has been the best year EVER for Liberal Democrats in local by-elections, with a total of 33 net gains.

You can get involved in this success every week at the ALDC (Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors) offices in Manchester where they run a volunteer phone bank every Thursday evening, calling up voters in local by-elections around the country to help Lib Dem candidates win. Contact Jenny for more information.

Of course in Bury we have our OWN local by-election on 4 May 2017, Besses Ward in Whitefield with activity every day over the next month. Find out more by emailing Gavin. Donate to help Gavin win here.
