Welcome to the website of the Merthyr Tydfil Liberal Democrats
We made some impressives gains in Merthyr during the General Election. Ceirion Rees had the highest increase in vote share of any of the candidates. It's true to say that the Liberal Democrats are going from strenght to strength - and there exciting ways that you can take part in our success too! For Liberal Democrats, one of the most important things is to be accessible to the local community - we are the only local party to distribute a regular newsletter (FOCUS) to local households. However, we want to hear your views on local issues too! You can help us by giving us feedback on our local campaigns and by sharing your views on the issues that matter to you. If you like what we do, you can help us by delivering a few FOCUS leaflets in your neighbourhood or by displaying a poster at election time. Simply follow the "Contact Us" link on the left of the screen or follow the "Tell us Your Views" link below.
