Newhaven Lib Dems release:



Newhaven Liberal Democrats are celebrating a commanding result at the local elections, picking up 15 of the 18 Newhaven Town Council seats. Liberal Democrats in Newhaven already hold two County Councillors and elected all five District Councillors, demonstrating that the Liberal Democrats are the voice for Newhaven.

Group Chair, Cllr Sean Macleod, said:  “The results in Newhaven were genuinely fantastic and we stood 16 candidates with 15 getting elected. It was a truly remarkable result for us. Our councillors are hard-working, community-minded local people who care passionately about the town of Newhaven and are committed to making real change over the next four years. With us also taking five seats on the District Council, it shows that people want the Liberal Democrats to represent them.

"We have appointed Councillor Julie Carr as the Mayor of Newhaven and Councillor Kim Bishop as Deputy Mayor, and we are now looking forward to delivering for the town."
