Chris Huhne

Welcome to my website!

You may be interested in my campaigns in Eastleigh constituency, such as cutting motorway noise, stopping overdevelopment with the new town near Botley and the gravel pit at Hamble, ending compulsory fluoride in our water, saving local pubs, boosting jobs in the borough, and campaigning against cuts to vital youth services and children’s centres.

Here you will also find details about Liberal Democrat national plans, to cut crime, control immigration, protect our freedoms and reduce the terrorist threat. This site is regularly updated with my comments on local and national events, and you can sign up for email alerts. Please let me have your views on things we could do better!
