This survey is designed for North East Somerset residents who live in the LibDem controlled Bath & North East Somerset Council area. A separate survey will be available shortly for Hanham residents living in the South Gloucester Council area.

Our constituency takes in parts of Somerset and Gloucestershire and according to electoralcalculus.co.uk, an estimated 54% of voters in the constituency supported leaving the European Union in the 2016 referendum.
Our main role is to campaign for the election of a Reform UK MP to represent the people of the constituency.
At local level our Branch is active within all the wards of Bath and North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils within the constituency boundaries where we select local candidates and campaign for the election of Reform UK councillors to give a voice to people who live and work in the two council areas.
