The Test Valley Liberal Democrats are working hard to create a more free, fair and open community.
As the only viable opposition to the Conservative run Hampshire, Test Valley Borough Council and Romsey & Southampton North constituency, we are determined to offer a better future for all the towns and villages across the Test Valley.
We have fired up activists who are out campaigning all year round across our area, from North to South and from East to West.
We have ambitious plans to transform our communities so please get in touch and get involved!
