Welcome

Welcome to the website of Aldershot Constituency Liberal Democrats.

As well as Aldershot, our constituency covers Farnborough, Blackwater, Hawley, Darby Green and Frogmore.

At the 2010 General Election, our candidate Adrian Collett bucked the national trend and CUT the Tories' majority (taking into account the new boundaries of the constituency).

As the main opposition locally, the Lib Dems are campaigning vigorously against the Tory-run District and County Councils.

  • Cllr Hazel Manning at the Jubilee Club
    Article: Dec 1, 2010

    Cllr Hazel Manning would like the Council to make a decision on the future of the Jubilee Club as soon as possible.

Everything in the consultation points to a community centre that can be used by all residents in North Farnborough.
