Knowsley South Liberal Democrats have selected the candidates
to fight in the Borough Council elections on May 4th this year.
And for the first time in recent years Knowsley voters
will be able to elect a Liberal Democrat in as many as 14 wards.
Knowlsey MBC Cllr Ian Smith, who will act as Agent for
all 14 candidates, said: "The new Millennium not only marks the dawning
of a new century but the start of a new era for local government in Knowsley.
"The May elections will provide the people of Knowsley
with real choice and an opportunity to express how they feel about Labour
run Knowsley Council.
"Liberal Democrats are confident of winning at least three
if not more seats this year, providing a strong platform for the future
and real opposition at long last."
Many local issues
that local people are concerned about will be tackled by Lib Dems .

But it is the protection of the environment
that is at the top of the agenda, with many wards threatened by planned
developments.
"Everywhere you look
in the Borough this Labour dominated Council is ruining the greenbelt and
playing fields forever," said Smith.
"Electing more Liberal
Democrat councillors is the only way to protect the greenfield sites under
threat in Halewood, Huyton, Kirkby and Prescot from this Labour council."
NEW OFFICES
And Knowsley South
Liberal Democrats will be planning their campaign to oust Labour from key
seats in the Borough from new offices in Prescot.
The first floor offices,
at No 10 Eccleston Street in Prescot Town centre, provide another point
of contact for your local Liberal Democrat candidates
Next door to the Halifax
building society, the offices will also provide an alternative venue for
weekly surgeries.
