Leading Lib Dem Leaves as Poll Looms

Vice-chair of Hedge End Town Council and Borough member for St Johns ward, Cllr Peter Hughes is no longer carrying the yellow rosette of the Lib Dems. He is now shown as an Independent on both the borough and town council web sites.

Joined by Cllr Caitlin Bloom who splits her time between Grange Park and Leicester, Peter's desertion from the Lib Dems means there are now three Independents on the Town Council in the lead up to the Wildern by election on 13th February. Independence is growing faster than any of the political parties in Hedge End.

  1. Well I hope its not Cllr Bloom who represents you - she doesn't bother to attend any meetings (as I see she lives in Leicester!). I wonder how relations are between her and her mother, vociferous leading Lib Dem Louise Bloom?

  2. I hope they are not going "independent" just as another Lib-Dem vote-gaining tactic (nothing would surprise me as regards Lib Dem pre-election behaviour after what I've seen in this Borough - never saw such behaviour by Lib Dems in other areas of Hants so why is it so prevalent here?). How can someone who lives in Leicester, even if only part of the time, be allowed to be a "local" councillor anyway? Is it true that Louise Bloom is Keith House's partner, or is that just a rumour? More true independents, please, both for local council roles and ready for the next General Election! We need them in this area or we'll all be moving to other areas just to escape these Lib Dem councillors whose behaviour and actions are at best unprofessional and at worst ... well, I won't say!
