Many thanks to everyone who voted yesterday. It was an exciting and close race - thanks for putting your trust in me. We'll do it again in 2023! #Ardingly #Balcombe #Handcross #PeasePottage #MSDC

WAYS TO BUILD TEAM MORALE!

🙏 Say thank you!

No Liberal Democrat has ever said ‘thank you’ too much – it simply isn’t possible!!!

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

Well done to the successful #GreenParty councillor, #JennyEdwards - a well-run campaign and many congratulations for stopping the Conservatives.

Tomorrow is the #Ardingly #Balcombe #Handcross #PeasePottage MSDC #byelection. It is clear people are fed up of the Tories. #VoteLibDem

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

Great to meet many of people of #Handcross and #PeasePottage today. Some very interesting conversations with some very knowledgeable people. They're tired of Tories. #VoteLibDem on #July8th #Ardingly #Balcombe

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

Tomorrow - One more day of campaigning in the #Balcombe #PeasePottage #Handcross and #Ardingly MSDC byelection #July8th Today the team met lots of voters wanting change from the Tories. #VoteLibDem

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

Had a great day's campaigning in #PeasePottage and #Handcross today. Met lots of voters who were unhappy with the status quo and wanting change. #LibDems are that change here. #July8thbyelection

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

I applaud your continued work on this. Poor planning threatens to ruin the countryside in this area, and should be prevented. #Ardingly #Handcross #PeasePottage #Balcombe #July8thbyelection

[SayNoToCottesmoreVillage @CottesmoreVlg]

Credit where credit is due to #MidSussexLibDems & @BenJerritLibDem much stronger messages on poorly planned proposed developments such as @CottesmoreGcc ”vision”. We must protect our AONB, preserve the uniqueness of our Villages and protect our local environment. #PeasePottage

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

A fantastic result for the #LibDem team. Well done everyone!

[ALDC @ALDC]

Yesterday's #run was on footpaths around #Ardingly and #Balcome. I love this countryside. #Running for #Handcross #PeasePottage #July8th #VoteLibDem.

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

@CottesmoreVlg You clearly care deeply and I’m interested to find out more. /end

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

The wonderful #LibDem team busy canvassing today in #Handcross. Well done everyone! #VoteLibDemJuly8th

[Benedict S H Jerrit @BenJerritLibDem]

@CottesmoreVlg success for Lib Dems in Pease Pottage means another voice against pro-development Conservatives who dominate District Council & Horsham DC where the Cottesmore Village sits. I value the High Weald AONB and don’t want to see it ruined. Happy to chat about this further. /3
