Local Lib Dems have selected local resident Gail Engert as their prospective candidate in the Muswell Hill by-election.

The by-election, in a ward that has been won three times in a row by the Liberal Democrats, is taking place on 4 March.

Gail Engert comments:

“I am extremely pleased to have been selected as prospective candidate for the by-election, and the chance to join such a great team.Lynne Featherstone, Jonathan Bloch and our local Lib Dem councillors work extremely hard for the area. They have had some noticeable successes in recent weeks, with funding being found for the police station front counter to reopen, and the trial of the new bus route to Swiss Cottage starting.

“I’m very much looking forward to working with them.”
