Former Barrister, Mike Chapman, is the Liberal Democrat Candidate for the Bovingdon By-Election.

The Liberal Democrat candidate for the Dacorum Borough Council By-Election in the Bovingdon, Flaunden and Chipperfield Ward is the former barrister and Bovingdon resident, Mike Chapman.

The cause of the By Election is the resignation of one of the three Conservative councillors for failure to attend meetings.

The By-Election will take place on June 8th, the same day as the General Election. Only two candidates are standing - a Conservative and Liberal Democrat Mike Chapman. Says Mike, "Under these circumstance I hope both Labour and Green supporters will recognise I am far closer to their views than the conservative."

Mike Chapman lives with his wife and daughter in Stoney Lane, Bovingdon. He is dismayed by the lack of facilities in Bovingdon. "The traffic management in the High Street is very poor, with unannounced road works causing havoc and with chronic disruption in the village centre. There is no car park at all and the consequent on-road parking is a major cause of the congestion."

Mike is looking forward to supporting the Liberal Democrat Opposition on the Borough Council if elected.

Mike concluded, "The Conservatives are complacent at all levels. From local government to Downing Street they take the voters' support for granted and pursue their own dogmatic policies at the expense of the wider public interest."
