Your Lib Dem Campaigners for Patching Hall / Newland Spring

County Councillor Tom Smith-Hughes

Tom Smith-Hughes is Essex County Councillor for Chelmsford North, which he has represented for over 20 years and is also a Chelmsford Borough Councillor for Patching Hall. He lives in the area where he has campaigned on many local issues, including Post Office closures, saving bus services and for CCTV at shopping parades. He is a governor at two local schools.

On the County Council, he is Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group and Chairman of the General Scrutiny Committee. There the Lib Dems have held the Conservative Group to account for their mismanagement of issues, such as potholes, Council Tax rises, traffic congestion, school meals and school transport.

A key local issue is fighting the threat from the Conservatives of massive housing development in North Chelmsford. See www.cmld.org.uk/pages/planning.html Tom also wishes to see the Council Tax axed, a fairer deal for the elderly, more police on the street, better public transport and more community involvement in decision making
