Southend on Sea Liberal Democrats will not stand against the Conservatives in Southend West by election in 2021
Cllr Carole Mulroney, Southend-on-Sea Liberal Democrats Council Leader, along with previous Southend West Liberal Democrats parliamentary candidates, Nina Stimson and Paul Collins, have reached out the national Party to inform them of our strong view that we should not contest the forthcoming by election that will be held after the tragic killing of Sir David Amess MP on October 15th.
The national Party have agreed and we will stand with the other Parliamentary Parties not to allow this brutal attack on our democracy to succeed.
Our thoughts remain with Sir David's family and friends, who we know are suffering at this devastating loss.
Cllr Carole Mulroney
