In this year’s local elections, EU Citizens can vote. For many of them, it’ll be their one and only chance to make their voice heard on Brexit at the ballot box.
And in many places, winning the EU citizen’s vote could be a big boost to a Liberal Democrat campaign.

Families of those who have lost loved ones in terrorist attacks abroad or others who have been directly affected are invited to apply to attend the event at the National Memorial Arboretum, in Staffordshire.
The National Memorial to Victims of Overseas Terrorism – entitled Still Water – is dedicated to all British victims of overseas terrorism and will stand to honour any future victims.
Tobias Ellwood, Minister for Defence People and Veterans said:
This memorial is a poignant tribute to British people killed in terrorist attacks abroad and will act as a focal point for remembrance for their loved ones and the whole country.
It is a space for quiet reflection and contemplation and I hope that it will become a place where those who have been affected can come to remember.
I would encourage anyone who has lost a family member in an overseas terrorist incident to apply for a place at the dedication ceremony and join this act of remembrance.
An online consultation for the memorial was launched by Mr Ellwood in January 2016, which sought views from those who had been affected by incidents overseas. In September 2017 it was announced that ‘Still Water’, by Alison Wilding and Adam Kershaw, had been selected by an independent panel to be the memorial. The work was completed in December 2017 and it is now open to the public.
A limited number of places are available for family members of victims and others who have been personally affected by terrorist incidents abroad at the dedication ceremony on 17 May. Those wishing to attend the dedication ceremony are invited to apply for places by registering on gov.uk.
Further information on the ceremony will be released in due course.
People interested in attending are asked to apply by 19 February 2018.
