Welcome to Adrian Collett's website

Welcome to my website. I am the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate for Aldershot, Blackwater and Farnborough.

I was born in Aldershot, went to school in Farnborough and now live at Darby Green in Blackwater. I have family in all three places, so I care deeply about this area. For 30 years I have campaigned as a councillor in Blackwater and Yateley and shown I can succeed on difficult issues.

I want to bring that active, campaigning approach to Aldershot and Farnborough too.

We need a fairer tax system which puts money back in you and your family's pockets. We need to make all schools as good as the best. We need to create jobs by investing in a greener future. And we need to safeguard our NHS.

Over the last four elections the Conservative lead over the Lib Dems has fallen from 19,188 down to just 5,334. Thousands are changing to the Lib Dems. This time, with your support, we can win.

Please feel free to look around my website. Remember, I am here to help you - so if there is anything I can do, please get in touch.

Many thanks,

Adrian's Pledge

I have been shocked by the behaviour of many MPs over expenses. There is no excuse! If you elect me I will not buy a second home or employ members of my family at your expense. I will work for you full time, only claiming costs genuinely incurred in your service.

Adrian's Pledge.
