At the Lib Dem national party conference, local campaigner Lynne Featherstone has scooped an award for her local party website, http://www.lynnefeatherstone.org.

The website, with hundred of pages of local news and views from Haringey’s Lib Dem team, achieved a ‘highly commended’ award at the party conference for the way in which it is used to keep residents informed about local news and to solicit feedback from them.

Haringey’s Lib Dems have gone from strength to strength with their campaigns, and have wiped the Tories off Haringey council. The party’s 15 councillors have Labour deeply rattled, as they worry about losing both the council and the Hornsey and Wood Green parliamentary seat at the next general election.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“With the website, we try to keep local people as well informed as possible about what is going on in the borough.

“Even more importantly, they can also let us know what they think on local issues, by filling in on line surveys or surgery forms. We are the only local party that offers such a comprehensive internet service, on top of our more traditional campaigns, and I am delighted that the team has received this award.”
