Welcome to Cheltenham Liberal Democrats
Thank you from Martin Horwood, MP for Cheltenham
"I am honoured to have been elected as your Member of Parliament. I know what a rare privilege it is to represent one's home town in the House of Commons and I will put my heart and soul into the job.
"If you voted for me, thank you. If you did not, I hope I may be able to win your support in the future. I will certainly do my best to represent all of the people of Cheltenham, however they voted.
"Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have a problem with which I may be able to help or if there is a local or national issue you would like to raise. I will also be holding regular advice surgeries, both at my constituency office in Hewlett Road and around the town."

"Liberalism in Britain has lost a great champion, the Liberal Democrats, a great advocate and our public life, a great servant. "
Lord Paddy Ashdown
In memory of Lord Richard Holme, who died on 5 May
"If the Tories want to claim that they are going to cut corporation tax, they have to come clean about how they are going to pay for it. Cutting the main rate of corporation tax to 25% will cost more than £5bn a year. If David Cameron is to have a hope of sounding credible he must state clearly where the money will come from. Otherwise this will be seen as yet another unfunded tax cut. "
