Western Counties chair passes away suddenly

We are very sad to have to report that David Hughes passed away suddenly yesterday at the meeting of the English Council of Liberal Democrat's, of which he was the Treasurer.

As stated on the party's website, David was the current Chair of the Western Counties. He had also been a parliamentary candidate three times here in South West Wiltshire, and was a former chair of both the party's candidates association and its national students' organisation.

As Treasurer, David also Chaired the English Finance and Administration Committee.
