Stephanie Lau

I moved to the UK from Hong Kong nearly three years ago and chose Warrington as my home because of its strong sense of community. My family and I have received a very warm welcome, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to give something back by serving our local community as a Liberal Democrat parish councillor. I’m passionate about building a community where people, families and animals feel welcome, respected and cared for. Warrington is a wonderfully diverse place, bringing together people from many different cultures and backgrounds. I believe this diversity makes our community stronger and more vibrant, and I would love to help bring people together, encourage understanding and create more opportunities for neighbours to connect and enjoy community life. As your Liberal Democrat parish councillor, I will be approachable, fair and always willing to listen. Whether you have a concern, an idea or something you feel could be improved, I want you to feel that your voice is heard and valued. I care about the everyday wellbeing of our community, including the people and pets who are such an important part of our families. I look forward to meeting more residents, hearing different perspectives and working together to make our community an even happier, kinder and more welcoming place for everyone.
