Harpenden North & Rural - St Albans Liberal Democrats

Beth Fisher (District Council Candidate)

Beth Fisher is your local Lib Dem candidate for Harpenden North & Rural. With three busy children at local schools, two cockapoos, and a job that enables her to work from home, Beth can be found talking, walking, and "mum taxi-ing" in and around Harpenden.

As a current Town Councillor and former Barrister, Beth is not easily intimidated when it comes to representing her local residents. She has already demonstrated her commitment to local action, and has advocated against building on unsuitable green belt sites, and has a proven track record of responding to her constituents efficiently and effectively.

Beth is hoping to continue this work on the District Council, and to develop schemes for young people in Harpenden, encouraging them to feedback ideas to better utilise our town's facilities to provide safe entertainment spaces. A vote for Beth in May's local elections is a vote for a candidate whose core values - hard work, focus, and integrity - will enable local residents to get their voices heard, and achieve positive change for our community.
