What I am standing for...
On 7th May, Sutton will either be run by a Conservative-Reform coalition of chaos or a Liberal Democrat administration that brings the values and vision of this manifesto to life, just as we have done so many times before.
Now, more than ever, Sutton needs a Council that combines experience with vision.
Central to all of our aims are our seven key pledges, which together represent the key steps we will take to keep Sutton moving forward.
BREAKING!
Today we're launching 'Keep Sutton Moving Forward', our manifesto for the 2026 local elections.
It showcases the bold, ambitious and vibrant ideas that the Liberal Democrats stand ready to deliver to deliver the brightest possible future for our borough.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war in Iran, and now we are all paying the price at the pump.
We want to cut Fuel Duty by 10p to save families 12p a litre and keep Britain moving.
ICYMI, I wrote about the impact of the war on families in Sutton, Cheam & Worcester Park in my latest column in the Sutton Guardian - www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/2595490...
Trump's illegal war in Iran is already hitting families with higher prices at the pump.
Half-measures and long-term policies won't cut it. We need to slash fuel duty now.
Today we have launched our plan to keep Britain moving - including a 10% cut in fuel duty.

A close-up image of a person stealing a smartphone from a woman’s small shoulder bag on a city street. Overlaid text reads: “Less than ONE PERCENT of all phone thefts reported resulted in a charge,” with “ONE PERCENT” highlighted in yellow.
We are calling time on this phone snatching epidemic.
It’s time for a dedicated National Crime Agency unit to track down the professional gangs behind these thefts and end the era of daylight robbery.
