HISTORIC ELECTION LOOMS AS LIB DEMS ADVANCE IN EPSOM & EWELL

The Liberal Democrats continue to tighten their grip on Epsom & Ewell's southern flank in Mole Valley, as the Party cements its position in Leatherhead.

While one Lib Dem - Benjamin Wear was re-elected in Leatherhead North – the waning Conservative allegiances in Leatherhead South continued to wane, as Gareth Parsons convincingly beat his high-profile Tory activist rival Surrey County Councillor Tim Hall 970 over 714 votes.

With two out of three seats in Leatherhead South now in the hands of the Lib Dems, the Conservatives are now down to just two seats in the whole of the Mole Valley district.

And with Labour and the Greens nowhere to be seen in the south, the general election stage in the wider Epsom & Ewell constituency is now set for a battle royal between the Liberal Democrat’s Helen Maguire and the Tory candidate.

Commenting on the recent Council elections results Helen said,

“Each month we are knocking on 1000's of doors and hearing from residents who are understandably upset with the way this government is running this country. They are looking for a change.

“With the boundary changes, Labour declaring the seat a non-battleground seat and the Liberal Democrats now having more councillors than the Conservatives across the country, we know there is a good chance of change here in Epsom, Ewell, Ashtead & Leatherhead.”
