Most of you will know that Peter was a long term and active supporter of the Liberal Democrats. He had an abiding interest in politics, though he wasn't most people's idea of a politician, and he was all the more effective for that. When the Social Democrat Party was started by the Gang of Four, Peter was one of the very first members, and proud of it, and that was how we first met.
We regret to report the death of Peter Ashenden, a long term and very active member of the Liberal Democrats.
High Peak Liberal Democrats regret to report the death of our constituency Treasurer, Bob Hobson. He had been in the renal unit at Manchester Royal Infirmary since before Christmas.
Your High Peak Liberal Democrat candidates for the 2013 Derbyshire County Council Elections thank you for your support and your votes! We have had relative success in the elections holding both of our seats, with Elizabeth Atkins holding her New Mills seat and David Lomax being succesful in his bid to take over from Barrie Taylor (who stood down after many years of fantastic service) as County Councillor for Whaley Bridge. The executive would like to thank Barrie Taylor for his many years of fantastic service for both High Peak Liberal Democrats and the people of Whaley Bridge.
