David Martin and Claire Jackson have been nominated to stand as Liberal Democrats for Bathwick ward to BathNES Council.

Papers published today show that David and Claire are the ONLY local candidates in Bathwick. David already has a proud record of action as our local councillor. Claire is known locally as the secretary of the Bathwick Hill Residents’ Association.

Nicholas Coombes, who is retiring this year, endorses them both:

“It has been a real pleasure to work with David Martin over the past four years; he is thoughtful, diligent and principled. People across Bathwick have benefited from his campaigns and assistance, and on the wider stage he has led BathNES Council to win awards for pioneering sustainable energy projects.

“I am delighted that Claire Jackson is standing in my place, we have worked together on local issues for almost a decade. Not only is she well known locally, but she has previously served as a councillor in London and had a national role in the Liberal Democrats. She will be a terrific addition to our team for Bathwick.”
