Queen's Park ward

Queens Park Ward covers from Queens Park Avenue to Cemetery Junction from Charminster Road to the Wessex Way. A lot of the ward is really in Charminster!

With a good record of listening to people, taking action, and not taking support for granted it's no wonder people trust the local Lib Dem team to deliver.
