Berkhamsted West By-Election: Thursday, July 24, 2025

Our candidate for this election is Jim Lawler, Chair of the Berkhamsted & Tring Labour Party and Disability Officer for the Harpenden & Berkhamsted Constituency Labour Party.

Jim is a member of the Unite Trade Union and the Fabian Society. He has lived in Dacorum for 18+ years and has a wife, Linda, and two daughters.

Please vote Labour in the Berkhamsted West Ward on Thursday, 24 July 2025.

This is a by-election called at short notice, with little time for campaigning. So it’s vital that all branch members turn out and vote for Jim.

The deadline for applications for postal votes is Wednesday 9th July.  The Tories and Lib Dems have been running Dacorum Borough Council for 25 years, and we need more Labour voices on the council.
