Local Elections in 2024
In 2024 all the council seats for Havant Borough Council are up for re-election.
Why?
The Electoral Commission has been redrawing all the ward borders in our borough and this means that things are changing. All the Councillors, in all seats, will have to stand for re-election.
In addition, four of the wards, which have two seats each, are merging into two wards, with three seats each.
All this means that instead of having 38 seats on the council, we will have 36 seats. That’s three in each of the 12 wards.
We need YOU!
More than ever, your local Lib Dem team needs you.
We are recruiting now. Whether you can help by volunteering a couple of hours a week or by donating a little money to our party, it all helps.
There are many different voluntary jobs. They each need doing.
Whether it is addressing envelopes, delivering the leaflets, helping to run a social event, helping to raise funds for our local party, preparing literature, producing content for social media, helping by canvassing or perhaps standing for election as a Liberal Democrat Candidate, if this interests you, do get in touch.
How are we different?
As Liberal Democrats, we have shared values and aims to achieve equality of opportunity. Members give recognition and show respect for others in the party and our society regardless of age, race, gender, disability, marital or civil partnership status, religion or belief, gender history or sexual orientation. All members have a chance to contribute to party ideas and together, improve our society.
