Tunbridge Wells Tory switches to Liberal Democrats

Francis Rook (apologies for getting his name wrong initially!), a Parish Councillor in Tunbridge Wells, home of the famous letter writer, has switched from the Conservatives to the Liberal Democrats.

His switch was triggered by Conservative plans to shut the council offices in Cranbrook, plans which the Tories tried to push through without any public consultation until there was a huge public outcry.

Looking to the Liberal Democrats, he found that our party actually matches his own beliefs much better than the Conservatives, so he switched.
