Stephen Robinson - campaigning for you all year round
Stephen was Liberal Democrat candidate for Chelmsford in May 2010 and came close to being elected as the MP. He was elected as a Chelmsford City Councillor in May 2011 for Patching Hall ward, and elected as County Councilor for North Chelmsford in June 2012. See below for news stories from Stephen. In December 2012 he was selected as a Lib Dem candidate for the 2014 European election. See here.
In Chelmsford, elections are always a clear choice between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives. No-one else can win in Chelmsford.
Locally, the Lib Dems are a strong opposition on Chelmsford Council and hold four of the five Essex County Council seats in the Chelmsford town area. Lib Dems use this position to continue to challenge the Conservatives' damaging policies on the environment (such as housing and new road building).
Lib Dems in Government are delivering the REAL change we need
- Fairer society - tax cuts for middle and low earners; a fair start for all children
- Green jobs - for a fairer economy

Invited on to BBC local radio, Chelmsford Lib Dem Stephen Robinson said that foreign companies like Honda and Nissan would fear a UK withdrawal and could stop investing in British jobs. The investment could easily go to Germany or France instead. He argued that Britain is stronger on the world stage because the EU is the world's largest economic bloc, with 500 million people.

Article: Jul 31, 2012A halt has been called on plans to sell most of the site of the former St Peter's college in north west Chelmsford. Essex County Council has agreed that part of the site will be given to Thriftwood special academy and debate is now starting about the rest of the site.
An intervention by the County Councillors for the area, Lib Dems Stephen Robinson and Jude Deakin, has stopped the site being put up for sale immediately.
Said Cllr Robinson, "During the recent by-election I said I would campaign for community facilities on the site. So when Jude Deakin and I heard that the Council was thinking about selling the site, we met the Cabinet member for Finance.
"I am delighted that he agreed to give local people time to come forwards with proposals for what the community would like to see on the site in future. We will now have these discussions via the North West Chelmsford Action Group."
