Welcome to Ashfield & Mansfield Liberal Democrats
We're about Freedom, Fairness and Trust.
Free education and healthcare so that everyone is free to make the most of their lives. Fair taxes, because where necessary, taxes should help improve our environment or make life in Britain more fair, not less. And finally, Trust, because it is time to restore trust in government. Our manifesto is fully costed so we can tell you what you'll get and how we'll pay for it.
Our intention is that this website will be a useful resource for local people to find out more about the local Liberal Democrats and the campaigns we are running.
However, we would like it to be more than that - we would like to hear from you. Online you can:

| Quotes of the Week |
|
"Liberalism in Britain has lost a great champion, the Liberal Democrats, a great advocate and our public life, a great servant. "
Lord Paddy Ashdown
In memory of Lord Richard Holme, who died on 5 May
"If the Tories want to claim that they are going to cut corporation tax, they have to come clean about how they are going to pay for it. Cutting the main rate of corporation tax to 25% will cost more than £5bn a year. If David Cameron is to have a hope of sounding credible he must state clearly where the money will come from. Otherwise this will be seen as yet another unfunded tax cut. "
Vince Cable - Lib Dem Shadow Chancellor
