Michael Cooper

Remembering Michael Cooper, lifelong Lib Dem and Ashdown Forest Conservator

Michael Cooper (1937-2022) was a lifelong Liberal Democrat and became well-known to us particularly during his retirement years when he was a passionate and active supporter of the local Lib Dem team. Michael was happy to co-operate to promote the Lib Dems at local level by standing as a candidate in elections where we had little chance of winning and giving local residents the opportunity of voting Lib Dem. He was also happy to support other candidates in their campaigns, including delivering Focus leaflets.

Wealden Lib Dems celebrate two strong wins in local elections

The local election results came in on Friday and though they were mixed overall, there was a lot to celebrate. Wealden is now less blue (and Hailsham in particular a lot more orange!) with Liberal Democrat Steve Murphy being elected by a large margin as the new East Sussex County Councillor for Hailsham Market division, while the town's popular Lib Dem mayor Paul Holbrook comfortably won the District Council by-election in Hailsham North. We were also pleased that Green Party County Council candidate Georgia Taylor was elected in Forest Row & Groomsbridge division (where the Lib Dems did not stand this time) - the first time Wealden has had a Green County Councillor.
