What's at the end of the A3 corridor of LibDem wins? Wandsworth

There is an intriguing thread running through many of the Liberal Democrat wins in the last two round of two local elections: it's called the A3. 

This main road running from London down to Portsmouth is one of the oldest in England and was built to connect the capital with the main port of the Royal Navy. Towns like Guildford grew up in large part because they sat along its route.

This historic route is now becoming a vital modern pathway to success for the UK's third party - the A3 corridor of British voters who want to see real change and improvement in how the country is won - and right at the end of it sits Wandsworth. 

At the elections this month, Portsmouth Liberal Democrats remained the largest party in the council and gained one more seat, making it 18. From there the A3 corridor goes through:

• Chichester (+14 seats and control of the council)
• Waverley (+5 seats and now the largest party)
• Guildford (+7 seats and control of the council)
• Elmbridge (+9 seats and now the largest party in the council)
• Richmond upon Thames (control of the council and head of the party Ed Davey as MP)

And from there into Wandsworth - where it weaves it way through Putney before stopping at an intersection a few feet into Battersea. 

So if you want to know where success is headed - just get on the A3. And Wandsworth LibDems will meet you at the end.
