EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall, March 1990. The image captures a significant moment in local politics as leading Liberal Democrats politicians gather to receive a petition aimed at removing the iconic Dairy Crest creamery tower from the heart of the town. The composition showcases four individuals who played crucial roles in this campaign. From left to right, we see Lisa Webb, an influential figure serving as Liberal Democrats Local Branch Secretary. Next is Bruce Tidy, a respected County Councillor known for his dedication to community causes. Standing beside him is Robin Teverson, then a Parliamentary Candidate and later becoming a Member of the European Parliament. Completing this powerful quartet is Baroness Seear, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords. Her presence adds gravitas and underscores the significance of this event within political circles. Photographed by Jonathan Barker with impeccable timing and precision, he manages to capture not only their determined expressions but also hints at their shared vision for change. This remarkable image serves as a testament to grassroots activism and local democracy at work - where concerned citizens unite under one cause seeking transformation within their beloved Cornish town.
