We're working for you all year round - not just at election times - to make our local community a freer, fairer, and greener place to live and work. Unlike the two main parties, the Lib Dems don't get funding from big businesses or unions. Instead, we survive on donations from local residents and supporters like you. We need your support to help level the playing field between our team of local community champions vs the big parties with bigger budgets. Help us build a better future for Witney & West Oxfordshire today by donating to our fighting fund - every donation counts.
How do we want West Oxfordshire to look in the coming decades? We're at a critical juncture and we all need to make sure it develops the way we want.
