🌿Introducing Stephen Middleton – your Liberal Democrat candidate for the Winkleigh by-election! 💛

We are delighted to introduce local farmer and community campaigner Stephen Middleton, standing to be a strong local voice for Winkleigh.

Stephen knows Winkleigh and the surrounding area inside out because it’s always been his home — and he’s completely committed to standing up for our rural community. That means protecting what makes Winkleigh special while fighting for the investment and services we deserve.

✅ Homes that truly meet local needs
✅ Better roads, safer travel, and improved village infrastructure — including access to NHS services and public transport
✅ The need for better rural policing after recent break-ins
✅ Supporting youth, family and community groups — including access to grant opportunities
✅ Championing our countryside, environment, and community life

“Winkleigh deserves proper investment and a representative who understands rural life and puts our village first.”

Cheryl Cottle-Hunkin, our County Councillor, will be out with Stephen and the Lib Dem team, speaking to residents in the coming weeks — and we want to hear your priorities for Winkleigh’s future.

🌻 Vote Liberal Democrat for a fairer, safer, stronger Winkleigh.

Please get in touch if you would like to help us with the campaign 🙂

‼️Stop the School Bus Sting - Sign the Petition‼️

Further to price increases in January, Stagecoach have recently removed Child Return Fares on popular North Devon Bus Routes, resulting in stealth price increases for Devon school children.

So many families have contacted me with shocking examples of just how significantly this will impact them, like:

◾155 Landkey to Barnstaple - Was £2.00 (Child Return), 2x singles now £2.80 (+40%)
◾155 Landkey to South Molton - Was £3.20 (Child Return), 2x singles now £6.00 (+88%)
◾75 Bideford to Torrington - Was £3.20 (Child Return), 2x singles now £5.80 (+81%)

This will place a massive financial burden on families with school-aged children and I am calling on Stagecoach to explain these excessive increases and demand a better approach. We should not be pricing our children off their school bus.

✍️Join the campaign and sign the petition today: https://www.northdevonlibdems.org.uk/campaigns/halt-bus-fare-increases-north-devon ✍️
