There’s a whole crop of by-elections today across the country. ALDC have the details here over three pages. Have a look for details of one near you and do what you can to help your local campaign.
However, there is only one Liberal Democrat defence, in Edward Davey’s Kingston constituency, so here at the Voice we are asking Liberal Democrat supporters reading this to concentrate their efforts there.
Lesley Heap is our candidate in Beverley ward. She’s a former NHS worker who’s now a swimming coach. She’s lived in the ward for 12 years. And she needs you to ring her supporters and ask them to get out to vote today. You’ll need a Connect account to do this, and the VPB code is 0D87BQ-5959.
If you can help on the ground, please call 07975 799596.
We really don’t want to see smiling Kingston Tories when the result is announced – so if you can help in any way, please do so.

I’ve made some calls this afternoon. Several have said “yes thanks I got the leaflet at 5.30 this morning and two people have been round already’. Is Connect up to date?
Did they say if they had voted just getting a good morning is no reason not to speak to people if they haven’t been to vote.
Thanks to everyone who helped us in Kingston yesterday. Sadly we lost the seat to the Conservatives in very challenging circumstances.
CON 1003, LD 760, LAB 717, UKIP 223, Grn 207. CON gain.
Thats a shame – is there any indication that this was a wider anti Lib Dem/ pro Labour mood or was the result down to the awful circumstances which caused the vacancy?
