South Gloucestershire Liberal Democrats represent the unitary authority of South Gloucestershire and the parliamentary constituencies of Thornbury and Yate, Filton and Bradley Stoke and part of North East Somerset and Hanham.
Our team covers the urban area bordering Bristol, along the Severn Estuary and up to the towns of Thornbury and Yate. We are a diverse area, with councillors representing rural areas like the villages of Boyd Valley and others representing more urban areas, like Stoke Park and Cheswick.
We have a strong tradition of winning in the area and, in 2024 Claire Young regained the seat of Thornbury and Yate as a Lib Dem MP. We currently lead South Gloucestershire Council in partnership with Labour having topped the poll in every council ward in Thornbury and Yate in the 2023 Local Elections. We're currently working hard across the region on behalf of all residents and we are aiming to win more local and national seats in upcoming elections.
Why not join the team and help us make South Gloucestershire a great place to live and work?
