Sam Collins has been selected to contest the parliamentary seat of Hitchin and Harpenden for the Liberal Democrats at the next General Election.

The Liberal Democrats are now on “battle stations” for the next election in Hitchin and Harpenden, as the party looks to replicate its stunning by-election wins in North Shropshire and Chesham and Amersham in dozens of marginal Conservative seats across the country. Ed Davey said the party is preparing to "turn the Blue Wall yellow.”

The paper describes how vulnerable the seat is to a Liberal Democrat victory in the next General Election following the party's stunning success in the recent North Shropshire by-election. It reports how the Tory majority has been 'slashed' by the Liberal Democrats to less than 7,000 votes and how the current MP, Bim Afolami, has been forced to defend his recent decision to vote against the suspension of Owen Paterson.

It is with great sadness that we announce the recent death of Cllr Paul Clark, District Councillor for Hitchin Highbury, Deputy Leader of North Herts Council and County Councillor for Hitchin South.
