Linda Stepney selected for Whitchurch and the Cleres

Local Liberal Democrats have chosen Linda Stepney to stand for election to Hampshire County Council in May.

Linda and her husband, Roy, have lived at Bere Hill Farm in Whitchurch for forty years. Their two children attended the local schools. They now have five grandchildren.

Linda has always volunteered for work in the community, including as a helper at the "Rising Fives" and as Secretary of All Hallows Parochial Church Council. Linda is now Secretary and a volunteer driver in Whitchurch Neighbourcare.

Linda campaigned for a "Remain" vote in the European Referendum but that is not an issue in the Hampshire County Council election.

Linda Stepney's priorities for Hampshire are:

1. Effective and compassionate care for elderly and vulnerable adults

2. Traffic calming and more off-road parking

3. Good schools for all the children growing up here.

In the past one county councillor represented Whitchurch and all the parishes north to the outskirtds of Newbury. This year Kingsclere is added and the county division was renamed Whitchurch and The Cleres.
