Party aiming to capitalise on disillusionment with government in ‘blue wall’ Hertfordshire town in May’s local election
Voters in the Hertfordshire town of Berkhamsted have been sending Victoria Collins, the Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate, videos of sewage. Out knocking on doors before local council elections in May, she claims the state of local waterways is an issue causing former Conservatives to move their vote.
“A lot of people are just horrified, because they’re really proud of the local countryside,” she says. “We’re talking to lifelong Tories who are saying, ‘now might be the time to change’.”
