Like most Lib Dems in East Grinstead, I was a victim of the nationwide rout of the Lib Dems.
In many discussions on the doorstep over the last few weeks, I have stressed that the voice of the people has to be listened to. The local results have been decisive and clearly the people are not persuaded by the Lib Dem message.
My commiserations to my fellow candidates in Herontye: Tony Joannou-Coetzee and Steve Barnett. They have been great to work with.
My congratulations to my East Grinstead Lib Dem colleagues who did get elected. Catrin Ingham, Bob Mainstone and Steve Barnett to the District Council. Bob Mainstone and Jackie Beckford to the Town Council.
Your new Herontye councillors are Dick Sweatman, John O'Brien and Edward Belsey. My best wishes to them as they take on their new jobs.
And I need to work out what to call my blog. "Ex Lib Dem Councillor ... " sounds rather bitter, doesn't?

Future Lib Dem Councillor?
Shouldn't you declare that Catrin is your wife?
No. She is her own person and doesn't need to be declared.
Lib Dem Activist Fighting for the People? Bit wordy or how about 'The only way is up' - hasn't that been used before by someone!!!!!!!!
Guess that's what happens when you become a Tory footstool.
