Could you be a local Councillor?
There are "all-out" elections to Shepway District Council and all Town and Parish Councils in the Shepway area in May 2011. "All-out" means that all of the Council seats on those Councils will be up for election at the same time. Have you ever considered being a Councillor?
There is a lot of information about what is involved in being a councillor at the www.beacouncillor.org.uk website, including step-by-step guides, videos and contact information.
If you are interested in standing for Council, irrespective of Party allegiance, why not talk to one of your local Liberal Democrat Councillors about what it entails locally? Full contact details for all Shepway District, Town and Parish Liberal Democrat councillors are at http://tinyurl.com/28lw9ra
