Applications Invited...

The Local Party Executive of Shepway Lib Dems invites applications for selection as Prospective Candidate for the constituency of Folkestone & Hythe.

Potential applicants should contact the Returning Officer, Roger Shade, 18 The Rise, Hempstead, Gillingham, Kent ME7 3SS, phone 01634 234029, email rogerjshade@blueyonder.co.uk for an application pack.

Applications must be sent to the Returning Officer by 5pm on 26th September. Applicants not on the Party's list of Approved Candidates at the closing date for applications will not be guaranteed consideration by the Selection Committee. It is the responsibility of applicants to check that their applications have been received by the Returning Officer, by the closing date.

The retirement of Conservative MP, Michael Howard, gives the Lib Dems an excellent chance to progress in this 'Moving forward seat'. With the highest Lib Dem vote in Kent, no labour Councillors locally, a strong and active local party with its own headquarters, there is a real opportunity to present an effective challenge to the Conservatives.
