More than 30 Liberals from many parts of Devon and Cornwall have met for a buffet lunch at Silverton’s Community Hall. The lunch was hosted by the Tiverton and Honiton Liberal Association. David Morrish, who is a member of Exeter City Council, welcomed the visitors. It was agreed that meetings between Liberals in the two counties should be a regular feature and arrangements will be made for another event before the end of the year.

Members will be returning to their local associations to draw up plans for the next general election.
