Welcome to the website of the Merthyr Tydfil Liberal Democrats

Welcome to our website. We have launched this new site to help us communicate better with you. But we also want you to use it to keep in touch with us.

We are campaigning to make our area better. We want to protect our local services like Post Offices, schools and hospitals. We also want to make our area a safer, greener cleaner place to live.

It is clear that the Liberal Democrats are now the only challengers to Labour in Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney. In the Assembly elections in May we came second. Labour recieved their lowest number of votes ever.

We hope that you can help us in our campaigns. There's lots of ways to help - signing our petitions, joining the Lib Dems, helping to deliver our local newsletters.

If there is an issue in your area you think we should be campaigning on, then please send us a message using the 'Your Views' section of the website.

Thanks for visiting our site,
