A photo of Alison Williams and Helen Morgan MPWe can now announce that our candidate for Shawbury will be Alison Williams!
Alison has lived in the Shawbury and Clive area for her entire life, having been born here, raised in Muckleton, went to Shawbury County Primary and then Thomas Adams and now lives in Acton Lea.

Having worked both in education as a teacher locally and in the NHS, Alison has a unique insight into the issues facing these key services, especially in rural areas such as ours.

She hopes to be able to be a strong champion for residents here in this unique rural area of Shropshire, working closely on a daily basis with Helen Morgan MP on issues such as a lack of bus services, poor quality of military housing and road safety/maintenance.

In Shawbury especially, Alison knows that by being part of a strong Lib Dem team at Shirehall, as the only party capable of achieving a majority, she can help to steady the ship and end the financial chaos of the current and previous Conservative-led administrations.

If you want to help Alison or any of our other candidates in the run up to next year's elections, please get in touch!
