Tunbridge Wells Fighting Fund 2026

 

Thursday 7th May is polling day in Tunbridge Wells. Our candidates and activists have been out on the doorsteps every week for the last three months, and voters are telling them that they are disappointed with the Liberal Democrats record at the town hall.

Residents are worried about large scale housing developments on greenfield site. They are worried about the Liberal Democrats plans to saddle taxpayers with significant debt for the first time in our borough’s history. We can see a shift in sentiment when we look at our canvass returns – our efforts are making a difference.

Elections are expensive and we are throwing everything we can at this one, which is why I am asking for your help. Will you support our local candidates with a donation to our 2026 Fighting Fund?

Here is what your donation will support in the final couple of days: 

£25 - Local Social Media Ad

£50 - Printing of Get Out The Vote cards

£100 - Borough Wide Social Media Ad

£250 - A final leaflet

£500 - Funding for half our campaign in a ward

£1000 - Funding for a ward campaign

Thank you for your generosity.
