Lib Dem Group leader on Shepway Council Lynne Beaumont is the new Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Folkestone and Hythe.
 

She was selected by members at a meeting in Saltwood on Saturday night (9 January).

Beaumont laid out her vision of the campaign in the run up to the General Election.

She outlined her experience in campaigning across Folkestone and Hythe, and some of her experiences and thoughts of having lived in the area for over 25 years.

After the meeting, Ms Beaumont said: "I'm so proud to have been selected as the Parliamentary Candidate for Folkestone and Hythe. We now have four months to run the campaign of our lives.

"In those months, we will need to give local people a real message of hope. That their vote can be the change. That they can have an MP who cares for our area, and will fight for their area day and night. An MP who will stand up for local people and local causes. An MP who will be the difference. An MP who will stand up for our area in Parliament, not represent Parliament to Folkestone and Hythe.

"I won't be wasting a single moment - and will ask each and every person dedicated to see the Liberal Democrats win here to work with me. Together, we need to be the change, and can make it happen."
