We often get told that politicians are all the same. Runnymede is traditionally a very Conservative area but, having broken the mould in 2019 with 3 elected Liberal Democrat councillors, we are proving that we are not all the same.

A good reason to vote Liberal Democrat on 5th May.
Communication We will regularly communicate with local residents using newsletters and email to provide updates of Runnymede...
