Welcome to our new Liberal Democrat website covering the East London boroughs of Newham and Barking & Dagenham. Please take a look around to see what we stand for, what we are campaigning about, and how we are trying to make a difference, locally and nationally. Both of our boroughs have been Labour for a long time. That means they take your vote for granted and they've stopped listening to you. We want to change that. We want to provide some real debate and sensible opposition. Please tell us what you are thinking. Explain the issues that are worring you so we can help.
We stand for liberty, equality and community. If your values match our values then please join us or come and help us.
