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 and boosting jobs in the borough.

Here you will also find details about Liberal Democrat national plans, to put more police on the beat, 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!

Yours
