We have a chance on May 23rd to send a very loud message to Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn.
On Thursday 2nd May we will have 26 council candidates standing across Brighton & Hove. Vote for the Liberal Democrats for 1,500 new homes, improvements to local mental health services and cleaner air in our city. Vote for the Liberal Democrats to support trans rights, our city's vibrant music venues and more cycle lanes. Vote for the Liberal Democrats to stop Brexit, celebrate freedom of movement and embrace diversity. Our full manifesto is available here and you can learn more about our candidates here. We will be a liberal voice for a liberal city.

Duncan Moore was our council candidate representative for the Liberal Democrats, and there is an excellent write-up of the event by Sarah Booker-Lewis of Brighton & Hove News.
We have launched our local manifesto for the 2019 elections, packed with ideas to make our great city even better - by standing up for affordable housing, supporting Save Our Schools and, of course, opposing Brexit and advocating a People's Vote.
