Welcome to the website of Ayrshire & Arran Liberal Democrats
We have members across the historic Scottish County of Ayrshire and the Isle of Arran and are particularly active in the North Ayrshire Council area.
In the Westminster General Election in 2005 we saw our vote rise in the four Ayrshire seats by around 7%
It is our intention to build on this increase by working hard for the people of our area and to strive to further advance the cause of Liberal Democracy here.
Thank you for visiting our website and please feel free to contact us with any comments or queries.
