Working for Newport and Severnside

Welcome to the Newport Liberal Democrats website. This website gives you a flavour of our campaigns in Newport and South Monmouthshire. Currently, Liberal Democrats form part of the administration that is running the City Of Newport.

Ed Townsend is the parliamentary spokesperson for Newport East and is the deputy leader of Newport City Council. He came close to taking the seat of Newport East - which includes Caldicot and Magor, in the 2007 Assembly elections - only 875 votes behind the Labour candidate.

Ed Townsend wants to know your views. Just use the YOUR VIEWS link to let him know what you think the Lib Dems can do to improve our area.
