The Liberal Democrats have selected local resident and Windermere Town Councillor Colin Jones to fight the Windermere Bowness North ward in the South Lakeland District Council by-election on 29th August.

Local community champion selected as Windermere & Bowness by-election candidate

The contest is likely to be a close fight between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives. The election was called because the previous councillor Hilary Stephenson decided that following her husband Jo's election as Deputy Leader of Cumbria County Council, it was not possible for them both to continue to devote their lives to politics and local government at the expense of their family and home. Consequently she decided to step down in order to support Jo politically and domestically.
