🌿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 🙂
