On 11th June there is a Council by-election in Wallington South ward in my constituency. It has been caused by the sad death of a friend of mine Colin Hall, who played a major role in many Sutton success stories such as the Smarter Travel Sutton scheme. You can read some of the tributes to Colin here.
Our candidate, Stephen Cook, if elected will be an excellent Councillor. He has lived locally for 35 years. He is Chairman of the local residents’ association, has had involvement in a number of important campaigns such as the campaign to block a McDonalds drive-thru’ and has strong business experience.
The Tories, still smarting from their failure to dislodge London’s last Lib Dem MP, are running a relentlessly negative campaign (whilst claiming to be running a positive one).
This by-election provides one of the first opportunities since May 7th to defy the other parties and show them the Liberal Democrats aren’t going to fade away.
