Cllrs Nathan Hartley and Sarah Bevan would like to welcome you to the Peasedown Liberal Democrat website. As your local councillors, they are active all year round - not just at election time.

In May 2011, both Nathan and Sarah were re-elected to Bath and North East Somerset Council for Peasedown with hugely increased majorities - Nathan for his second term, and Sarah for her third.

Despite having 7 opponents they were still able to secure 53% of the vote and more than 1,100 votes each. In fact, the result means they have the biggest majorities, of any of the 65 Councillors, in the whole of Bath and North East Somerset.

Please take time to have a look around the website, where you'll find lots of useful information. Nathan and Sarah can be contacted here.

Following last week’s announcement that Peasedown’s Party in the Park will transform into a huge jubilee party in June, more plans have been unveiled to hold an exhibition that will celebrate the village’s history spanning over the last 75 years.

Mike Auton, who sits on the Party in the Park organising committee, said:

“We need your support now to make this the best ever and a fitting tribute to this the Diamond Jubilee. We are looking for local companies to support this family festival by kindly donating money, time or equipment. We are looking for help with printing of promotional materials and posters, hire of marquees or other equipment used on site.

Support from local companies has been so important to make this happen and we hope we can get more companies involved in 2012 to celebrate what will be a historical year for Peasedown St John and the whole UK.”

Peasedown St John has become one of the first villages in north east Somerset to announce some of its plans for this year’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.

After three successful village festivals, the organisers of Peasedown's Party in the Park are doing things a little differently this year.

To celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, they’re holding Party in the Park on Monday 4th June. This will be part of a four-day national holiday, celebrated all over the world.
